We report a term male neonate in whom classic DWS was incidentally discovered during admission for purpura and mild tachypnea. Although fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had suggested vermian agenesis, definitive postnatal brain MRI on day 6 confirmed complete vermian absence, left cerebellar hypoplasia, and a large posterior-fossa cyst communicating with the fourth ventricle. The purpura and respiratory symptoms resolved rapidly with supportive care, and the infant was discharged with full oral feeding at 7 days. This case highlights the need to revisit prenatal imaging when neonates present with seemingly unrelated problems; early postnatal confirmation enables timely family counseling, developmental surveillance, and multidisciplinary follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2025.1713294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T06:34:37Z","timestamp":1767854077000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Neonatal Dandy\u2013Walker syndrome: a case report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ying","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"200","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.351140038","article-title":"Congenital abnormalities of the posterior fossa","volume":"35","author":"Bosemani","year":"2015","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"78","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgme.2003.08.010","article-title":"Human malformations of the midbrain and hindbrain: a review","volume":"117","author":"Parisi","year":"2003","journal-title":"Am J Med Genet Part C"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"886","DOI":"10.1177\/0883073817718953","article-title":"The most common comorbidities in Dandy\u2013Walker syndrome patients: a systematic review of case reports","volume":"32","author":"Stambolliu","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Child Neurol"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"484","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-003-0782-5","article-title":"Dandy\u2013Walker malformation: prenatal diagnosis and prognosis","volume":"19","author":"Klein","year":"2003","journal-title":"Child\u2019s Nervous System"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1037","DOI":"10.1038\/ng.422","article-title":"FOXC1 is required for normal cerebellar development and is a major contributor to chromosome 6p25.3 Dandy\u2013Walker malformation","volume":"41","author":"Aldinger","year":"2009","journal-title":"Nat Genet"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-011-1544-4","article-title":"Hydrocephalus in Dandy\u2013Walker malformation","volume":"27","author":"Spennato","year":"2011","journal-title":"Child\u2019s Nervous System"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"95","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocn.2016.04.008","article-title":"Postnatal outcome of antenatally diagnosed Dandy\u2013Walker malformation","volume":"34","author":"Kaliaperumal","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Clin Neurosci"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"544","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.2819","article-title":"Diagnosis of Dandy\u2013Walker complex in the fetus","volume":"27","author":"Limperopoulos","year":"2006","journal-title":"Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.c.31398","article-title":"Cerebellar hypoplasia: differential diagnosis and diagnostic approach","volume":"166","author":"Poretti","year":"2014","journal-title":"Am J Med Genet Part C"}],"container-title":["Frontiers in Pediatrics"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fped.2025.1713294\/full","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T06:34:38Z","timestamp":1767854078000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fped.2025.1713294\/full"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]]},"references-count":9,"alternative-id":["10.3389\/fped.2025.1713294"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fped.2025.1713294","relation":{},"ISSN":["2296-2360"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2296-2360","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]]},"article-number":"1713294"}}
