  • Title: Chronic cerebral herniation in shunted Dandy-Walker malformation.
    Author: Naidich TP, Radkowski MA, McLone DG, Leestma J.
    Journal: Radiology; 1986 Feb; 158(2):431-4. PubMed ID: 3941868.
    Abstract:
    A review of serial computed tomography (CT) scans of 25 patients with the Dandy-Walker malformation revealed six patients with chronic downward transincisural herniation of the cerebrum after shunt decompression of the posterior fossa cyst or malfunction of a lateral ventricular drainage catheter, or both. Chronic cerebral herniation was detected postmortem in a seventh patient with the Dandy-Walker malformation. The CT findings and autopsy appearance of this previously undescribed feature of shunted Dandy-Walker malformation are illustrated.
