Trisomy 18 is the second most common chromosomal syndrome and has multiple dysmorphic features. However, ocular findings in trisomy 18 are rarely reported. Retinal folds are the most common ocular finding described to date, although retinal hypopigmentation, dysplasia, and areas of hemorrhage and gliosis are also found in trisomy 18. Dandy-Walker syndrome is a brain malformation that has been reported in association with numerous chromosomal abnormalities, although it has rarely been reported in association with trisomy 18. Here, we present a case of trisomy 18 with ocular pathology and variant of Dandy-Walker syndrome, a combination that has not previously been reported.

Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) and Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) are uncommon genetic conditions with nonspecific clinical features, which makes reaching a definitive diagnosis challenging. We describe here, a 2-year-old girl who was diagnosed with SMS at the age of 12 months due to delayed growth and development. The child presented to hospital with acute heart failure and respiratory failure.

DDX3X syndrome is often misdiagnosed as autism spectrum disorder (ASD, Rett Syndrome, and Dandy-Walker Syndrome). Precise phenotyping is needed with reference to neurodevelopmental diagnosis. Observation of behavior and communication in parents with DDX3X syndrome in the USA, France, and Poland; conversations with the parents of patients; and rudimentary information in evidence-based medical articles prompted us to identify differences in communication, play, and social interaction between children with ASD only, those with both ASD and , and those with only.

Introduction: Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS), a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, has intrigued clinicians and researchers since its description by physicians Walter Dandy and Arthur Walker. Despite its recognition for nearly a century, understanding its etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations remains elusive. This bibliometric analysis aims to elucidate influential academic works on DWS.

Goldston syndrome (GS) is an extremely rare syndrome involving the central nervous system and kidneys. It is believed to have a familial association and an autosomal recessive inheritance and is characterized by the concomitant occurrence of cystic dysplastic kidneys and Dandy-Walker malformation. We report a case of antenatally detected GS at 22 weeks of gestation in a female with a consanguineous marriage.

Objectives: We sought to examine the relative importance of surgical lesion complexity versus the presence of genetic/syndromic/extracardiac anomalies (GSAs) in determining survival, morbidity or need for reinterventions following repair for aortic arch hypoplasia.

Methods: A single-centre, retrospective cohort study of infants undergoing biventricular aortic arch repair sternotomy from 2010 to 2021 was conducted. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier methods, with additional Bayesian survival modelling for subgroups.
