A Newborn with Dandy-Walker Malformation and Aortic Coarctation
Journal Title: Meandros Medical and Dental Journal - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) is a rare anomaly of the posterior cranial fossa. Concomitant brain or systemic malformations are frequent and can influence the prognosis. DWM is associated with cardiac abnormalities. Recognition of these anomalies are important for diagnosis and accurate surgical management. Association of aortic coarctation with DWM is extremely rare. Here, we report a newborn with DWM and aortic coarctation. Our aim was to emphasize that DWM can be associated with cardiac anomalies. Cardiac congenital defects are often associated with a poor prognosis. These kinds of features should alert the clinician to consider extensive screening in these patients not only for cerebral structures but also for cardiovascular abnormalities.
