What’s the outlook for children with Dandy-Walker syndrome?

Your child’s outlook and life expectancy depend on how severe their condition is. Other congenital conditions also affect their prognosis.

People with the condition have a wide range of experiences. Some have minor symptoms. Others have profound disabilities. Some children can achieve typical cognitive abilities with the right treatment plan. Others do not, even when their care team diagnoses and treats the condition early.
