Dandy-Walker cyst associated with occipital meningocoele.

One case of Dandy - Walker cyst associated with occipital meningocoele is presented. In this case magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a Dandy - Walker cyst in direct communication with an occipital meningocoele. Occipital meningocoele might simply be an expression of increased intracystic pressure in Dandy-Walker cyst in embryonic life, or such association might suggest morphogenetic situation during embryogenesis.
