This submission presents a case of scoliosis in a patient with established Dandy-Walker anomaly of the brain. A retrospective review of the patient's case notes was undertaken and the limited literature on this subject reviewed. The 13-year-old girl presented with a stiff right thoracic scoliosis typical of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The scoliotic segment also presented with significant lordosis. She had facial and truncal dysmorphism characteristic of Dandy-Walker complex and her brain images confirmed the diagnosis. She underwent scoliosis surgery by the posterior approach uneventfully. In conclusion scoliosis is hitherto unreported in the Dandy-Walker complex. The results of intervention appear satisfactory.
本报告介绍了一例患有已确诊的脑部丹迪-沃克畸形的患者的脊柱侧弯病例。对该患者的病历进行了回顾性分析,并查阅了关于该主题的有限文献。这名13岁女孩表现出典型的青少年特发性脊柱侧弯,即右侧胸段脊柱僵硬。脊柱侧弯节段还伴有明显的脊柱前凸。她具有丹迪-沃克综合征典型的面部和躯干畸形,脑部影像证实了诊断。她通过后路顺利接受了脊柱侧弯手术。总之,丹迪-沃克综合征中迄今尚未有脊柱侧弯的报道。干预结果似乎令人满意。
