Introduction: Dandy-Walker malformation is a rare congenital disease involving the cerebellum and the fourth ventricle. This condition is characterized by agenesia or hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle, and enlargement of the posterior fossa. Approximately 80% of patients have hydrocephalus. Dandy-Walker malformation was described by Dandy and Blackfan in 1914. The characteristic triad of Dandy-Walker malformation is consisting of complete or partial agenesis of the vermis, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle and an enlarged posterior fossa. The prenatal diagnosis of Dandy-Walker malformation is better after 18 weeks of gestation. After birth it is best diagnosed with the help of transfontanelar ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and computerized axial tomography. The treatment for this condition is based in the management of hydrocephalus. 1 Case: below is a case report of Dandy Walker at the Maternal Fetal Medical Unit of the Carlos Andrade Marin Hospital in Quito.
