Trans-sphenoidal encephalocele in association with Dandy-Walker complex and cardiovascular anomalies.

We present a case of trans-sphenoidal encephalomeningocele in association with a posterior cranial fossa malformation which fulfils the criteria for the Dandy-Walker complex [1]. Congenital cardiovascular defects were also present. An abnormality of neural crest development may be responsible for the combined occurrence of these anomalies.
