How is Dandy-Walker syndrome diagnosed?

Healthcare providers or parents may notice that a child has increased head size. A child may also not meet developmental milestones. Providers order brain imaging to diagnose Dandy-Walker. Tests may include:

• Ultrasound.
• CT.
• MRI.

Occasionally, providers diagnose this condition before a baby is born during a prenatal ultrasound or fetal MRI.
