Abstract

Abstract

Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by structural abnormalities in the cerebellum and fluid-filled spaces within the brain. A 38-year-old Kurdish mother presented for routine prenatal ultrasound at 17 weeks and 4 days gestation, where an anomaly in the fetus' foot and ankle was observed. Subsequent evaluations revealed unilateral clubfoot deformity, syndactyly of the toes as a new finding, hydrocephalus, cerebral atrophy, and cardiac abnormalities. The infant experienced apnea and seizure attacks after birth. Diagnostic imaging modalities, including three-dimensional ultrasound and neurogram scan, confirmed cerebellar vermis agenesis and ventricular enlargement. This case report contributes to the understanding of DWS, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive clinical evaluations and imaging studies in diagnosing and managing the condition. Further research and accumulation of similar cases are warranted to enhance knowledge and improve care for individuals with DWS.
