Abstract

An 11-month-old girl who has Dandy-Walker's variant (DWV) associated with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), atrial septal defect (ASD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and primary hypothyroidy is presented. There has been no report describing a case of DWV associated with TOF, ASD and PDA and primary hypothyroidy. The first case of Dandy-Walker malformation associated with TOF was reported by Kohyama et al in 1988, since then, a few cases were reported in the literature. Our patient is the first reported case.
