Síndrome de Dandy-walker

Abstract: O craniograma mostrará disjunção das suturas ou aumento da fontanela e a impressão dos seios laterais nos ossos parietais. Nem sempre esta impressão aparece, porque é preciso certo tempo para que ela se forme 4 e, então, podemos ter apenas sinais de hidrocéfalo. Nestes casos, o estudo neurorradiológico contrastado d-eve ser iniciado pela pneumencefalografia, embora seja a ventriculografia o exame que dá maiores informações. Fazemos o estudo pneumencefalográfico em primeiro lugar porque este exame permite a vis… Show more

“…The DWS is characterized by a hypoplasia or agenesis of the cerebellar vermis, involving the cortex and deep cerebellar nuclei, enlargement of the fourth ventricle in continuity with a posterior fossa cyst, and usually, though not exclusively, hydrocephalus 1,7 . There is some doubt if the malformation is simply due to congenital obstruction of the foramina of Luschka and Magendie, which results in ballooning of the fourth ventricle and deformity of the cerebellum of varying degree, or represents a structural developmental anomaly of the area of the fourth ventricle 1,6,12 .…”

“…In DWS patients focal neurological signs are usually less prominent, but symptoms and signs of hydrocephalus are more frequent 1,6,12,14 . In most previous series of DWS, approximately 40% of the children were intellectually normal, 40% had mental retardation, and 20% were borderlines, but our case is intellectually normal 7 .…”

“…A Síndrome de Dandy Walker foi descrita por Virchou em 1863 e Fusari em 1891. Entretanto, Dandy, Taggart e Walker foram quem descreveram os elementos clínicos e radiológicos necessários para a perfeita caracterização da síndrome (Costa, 1973). Esta síndrome apresenta malformações cerebrais, alteração nos vermis, dilatação do sistema ventricular, muitas vezes diagnosticado inicialmente como hidrocefalia.…”
