The molar tooth sign, reflecting the midbrain dysgenesis of Joubert syndrome, is the neuroradiological hallmark and is an essential sign in the identification of this condition. Variable vermian agenesis, an expanded fourth ventricle, and a large posterior cranial fossa with a normal brainstem are typical of Dandy-Walker malformation. The authors report a case in which a Dandy-Walker malformation coexisted with Joubert syndrome, but initially prevented the \u2018\u2018molar tooth sign\u2019\u2019 from being recognized because of an important cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle. In this article, they discuss the importance of the re-examination of brain magnetic resonance features after decompression of the posterior cranial fossa in a patient with Dandy-Walker malformation and additional clinical neurological or systemic abnormalities typical of Joubert syndrome, to not miss the correct diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0883073810370477","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,7]],"date-time":"2010-09-07T20:19:01Z","timestamp":1283890741000},"page":"1419-1422","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Dandy-Walker Malformation Masking the Molar Tooth Sign: An Illustrative Case With Magnetic Resonance Imaging Follow-up"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Stefano","family":"Sartori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Paediatric Neurology Unit, Department of Paediatrics Salus Pueri, University of Padua, Padua, Italy,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathrin","family":"Ludwig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Genetics Unit, Department of Paediatrics Salus Pueri, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manuela","family":"Fortuna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paediatric Neurology Unit, Department of Paediatrics Salus Pueri, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cinzia","family":"Marzocchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Genetics Unit, Department of Paediatrics Salus Pueri, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Milena","family":"Calderone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroradiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Irene","family":"Toldo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paediatric Neurology Unit, Department of Paediatrics Salus Pueri, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leonardo","family":"Salviati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroradiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna Maria","family":"Laverda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paediatric Neurology Unit, Department of Paediatrics Salus Pueri, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Romano","family":"Tenconi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroradiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University of Padua, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmg.2007.11.003"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/088307389901400605"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.31832"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.rct.0000191681.05473.13"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/b137533"},{"key":"atypb6","first-page":"153","volume":"50","author":"Genel F.","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Postgrad Med"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/pd.220"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/088307380101601008"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-003-0782-5"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.c.30229"}],"container-title":["Journal of Child Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0883073810370477","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0883073810370477","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T20:34:41Z","timestamp":1777494881000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0883073810370477"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,7]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2010,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0883073810370477"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0883073810370477","relation":{},"ISSN":["0883-0738","1708-8283"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0883-0738","type":"print"},{"value":"1708-8283","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,7]]}}}
