“…Extracranial congenital malformations have been documented in 35.4 per cent (Cornford and del(6p), duP(8P), dup@q), dUP(9P), and duP( 17q) Twining, 1992) to 60 per cent (Russ et al, 1989) of cases of Dandy-Walker malformation. Our case demonstrated neither intrauterine growth retardation nor concurrent cardiac or renal anomalies.…”

“…Dandy-Walker malformation represents a group of rare congenital abnormalities of the central nervous system with a reported incidence of one in 30,000 live births 1 . It is characterised by a neuro-pathological triad of hydrocephalus, cystic dilatation of the forth ventricle and complete or partial agenesis of the vermis 2 . Although commonly diagnosed in neonatal period, clinicians should have a high index of suspicion of chronic headache and vomiting and take this as a specific symptom of raised intracranial hypertension, unless proved otherwise.…”

Dandy-Walker syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the brain that involves the cerebellum and the fourth ventricle. It is characterised by a classical triad of hydrocephalus, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle and complete or partial agenesis of the vermis. Majority of cases are diagnosed during neonatal or early infantile period. In this case report, a seven-year-old boy complained of recurrent headaches for the past one year. Physical examination was unremarkable. Examination of the fundus on the same day revealed bilateral papilloedema. His subsequent computed tomography scan of the brain done at a major district hospital demonstrated features in keeping with Dandy-Walker malformation. Our case highlighted the importance of embarking on a detailed and thorough approach when dealing with a child with chronic headache, especially in rural settings where advanced medical equipment is not readily available.
