Overview
Historical Perspective
- The term Dandy-Walker Syndrome was introduced in 1954 by a German psychiatrist Clemens Benda in the light of the following discoveries,[1]
- In 1914, American neurosurgeon Walter Dandy and American pediatrician Kenneth Blackfan recognized the association between the partial or complete absence of cerebellar vermis, hydrocephalus, and fourth ventricular enlargement.[2]
- In 1942, Canadian-American neurosurgeon Arthur Earl Walker and American physician John Taggart contributed by highlighting the possible cause to be the maldevelopment of the foramen of Lushka and Magendie.[3]
- An English surgeon named John Bland Sutton was the first to describe the association of underdeveloped cerebellar vermis, hydrocephalus, and an enlarged posterior fossa in 1887.[4]
Classification
There is no established system for the classification of Dandy-Walker Syndrome.
Pathophysiology
It is thought that Dandy-Walker Syndrome is the result of disruptions that occur in the development of cerebellar vermis leading to a fourth ventricle that is continuous with the posterior fossa subarachnoid space.[5]
