Abstract

Summary: The frequency and importance of posterior fossa evaluation has increased signicantly in the last 20 years due to advances in neuroimaging. Today, conventional and advanced neuroimaging techniques allow a detailed assessment of the complex anatomical structures within the posterior fossa. A wide spectrum of congenital anomalies (anomalies due to an alteration of the primary developmental program caused by a genetic defect) and due to the breakdown of a structure that had a potential for normal development has been demonstrated. Knowledge of the spectrum of congenital anomalies of the posterior fossa and its well-dened diagnostic criteria is essential for optimal therapy, an accurate prognosis, and correct genetic counseling. Objective: Analyze the importance of the precise diagnosis of congenital anomalies of the posterior fossa, emphasizing Dandy Walker syndrome, through a clinical case. Design: Prospective, observational in a single center. Methodology: This is a systematic review, Dandy Walker syndrome, detailing its clinical characteristics and short-term complications. The information and images obtained belong to the medical personnel in charge of the case, whose reinforcements are provided by the Excel, Word and JPG statistical package.
