The Dandy-Walker complex is a continuum of posterior fossa cystic anomalies and consists of the Dandy-Walker malformation, vermian hypoplasia, and mega cisterna magna. Some authors utilize the term Dandy- Walker variant, which leads to confusion in some authors may use this to refer to a hypoplastic cerebellar vermis and a large cistern magna whereas others may use it to refer to the Dandy-Walker malformation in which one or more of the fourth ventricular outflow foramina are patent. It has therefore been suggested that the term “Dandy-Walker”...

However, 60 % of curvatures in rapidly growing prepubertal children will progress. Therefore, scoliosis screening is done in schools across America and several other countries. This screening is probably not necessary...
