Can dandy walker syndrome become worse in late adulthood when already diagnosis as an infant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dandy Walker Syndrom: Yes, it can get worse. This is particularly true if the patient never got a shunt (or it stopped working) and the intracranial pressure increases. These patients have a broad range of neuro abnormalities so generalizations for a particular patient aren't much help,
