Abstract:
A very characteristic congenital anomaly, atresia of the foramina of Luschka and Magendie, the outlet foramina of the fourth ventricle, referred as the Dandy-Walker Cyst by Raimondi and et al. in 1968. Really in 1921, Dandy discussed the clinical diagnosis and treatment of hydrocephalus secondary to occlusion of the foramina of Magendie and Luschka. In 1944, Walker reported a case of congenital atresia of the outlets of the fourth ventricle treated surgically. We are reporting one case of this cyst was surgical intervention and carried autopsy.
