Article Synopsis
- Dandy-Walker malformation is the most common malformation in the posterior fossa and can be linked with other congenital issues, though its association with giant occipital meningocele is very rare, with only 34 reported cases.* -
- The case described involves a 2-month-old girl with a large mass on the back of her head, detected during a prenatal ultrasound, and confirmed via brain imaging to show abnormal brain development and fluid build-up.* -
- The report aims to shed light on the uncommon relationship between giant occipital meningocele and Dandy-Walker syndrome, hoping to aid in establishing guidelines for treating similar cases in the future.*
