It is characterized by agenesis or hypoplasia of cerebellar vermis, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle and enlargement of the posterior fossa. Dandy Walker Malformation is a condition which can be effectively diagnosed by imaging modalities, especially in antenatal period with a proper antenatal checkup and sonography
