  • Title: Enlarged cisternae magnae and posterior fossa cysts simulating Dandy-Walker syndrome on computed tomography.
    Author: Archer CA, Darwish H, Smith K.
    Journal: Radiology; 1978 Jun; 127(3):681-6. PubMed ID: 663159.
    Abstract:
    Computed tomography was performed on 5 children with posterior fossa cystic abnormalities. On an axial tomogram, an enlarged cisterna magna could not be distinguished from a Dandy-Walker variant, nor could an encysted fourth ventricle be distinguished from a subarachnoid cyst. Supplementary air encephalography or sagittal reconstruction of tomograms is necessary to define posterior fossa cysts accurately.
