Dandy-Walker variant

Last revised by Jeremy Jones on 10 Jan 2024

Dandy-Walker variant (DWv) is a historical term that was previously used to describe posterior fossa cystic malformations that did not meet the criteria for Dandy-Walker malformation. However, the use of the term is non-specific and is highly discouraged 1. Please refer to isolated inferior vermian hypoplasia for a broad discussion of this defined entity.

The term remains in use across many institutions and in the literature.
