Clin Radiol. 1992 Mar;45(3):172-4. doi: 10.1016/s0009-9260(05)80634-8.

Abstract

The Dandy-Walker syndrome can be accurately diagnosed in utero by sonographic demonstration of characteristic morphologic changes in the fetal posterior fossa. Three cases of Dandy-Walker syndrome are described. The associated intracranial and extracranial anomalies are reviewed, and the value of antenatal diagnosis is discussed.
