Page d'accueil Présentation Le cervelet Intégration ... Livre d'or Bienvenue sur "Alors, parlons-en" Vous voici sur un site d'information personnelle. Vous allez découvrir la maladie rare de Jordan et surtout son parcours. Ses évolutions, son quotidien, la bataille face à l'intégration scolaire mais également ce que Jordan aime faire et ce qu'il l'aide à évoluer en permanence. Jordan est atteint d'un syndrome cérébelleux et d'un syndrome Dandy Walker. Ce sont deux maladies rares en France. On trouve beaucoup de cas de syndrome Dandy Walker au USA mais très peu de cas ici, chez nous. Le syndrome cérébelleux est également rare. Voici l'adresse d'une association qui travaille beaucoup pour aider les personnes atteintes de ce syndrome : CSC Pour moi, maman de Jordan, j'y aie trouvée une aide morale qui fait du bien.
Pour la petite histoire du site...
La solidarité du cœur existe et pas besoin d’être de la même famille.
Ce site en est l’exemple type et je veux que tout le monde le sache.
Jordan n’avait plus de site suite à un problème d’hébergeur. Alors, mon fils aîné a décidé ainsi qu’il fallait que le site de Jordan existe à nouveau pour que tout le monde connaisse sa maladie rare.
Il a donc posté sur un forum de jeux, Ludiclub, pour mobiliser tous les gens qui jouaient habituellement sur ce site. Il a eu plusieurs messages de soutien pour son action qui, à 16 ans, démontre à quel point il aime son petit frère.

Cheyanne Hathaway Introduction Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS) is a congenital (present at birth) brain malformation typically involving the fourth ventricle and the cerebellum. The disorder was first described in 1914 by W. Dandy and K. Blackfan and was designated as Dandy-Walker syndrome in 1954 by C. Benda, who also reported familial occurrence. DWS occurs in one out of every 25,000 live births and occurs more frequently in females than males. Features and Characteristics The following characteristics have been seen in children with Dandy-Walker syndrome:
  • Enlargement of the fourth ventricle Absence (partial or complete) of the cerebellar vermis (area between the two cerebral hemispheres) Cyst formation in the posterior fossa (internal base of the skull) Slow motor development in early infancy Progressive macrocrania (abnormally enlarged skull) Hydrocephalus Seizures Intracranial pressure in older children, causing irritability, vomiting, and convulsions Cerebellar dysfunction causing ataxia and nystagmus Bulging occiput (back of head) Cranial nerve dysfunction Abnormal breathing patterns Agenesis of the corpus callosum Malformations of the face, limbs, digits, and heart

Associated persons: Julius Arnold Walter Edward Dandy Arthur Earl Walker Description: A variant of Arnold-Chiari syndrome. A congenital brain malformation involving the fourth ventricle and cerebellum, marked by partial or complete absence of the cerebellar vermis, and posterior fossa cyst continuous with the fourth ventricle. Congenital hydrocephalus is caused by blockage of the foramina of Magendie and Luschka (the foramina of the fourth ventricle of the brain), through which the cerebrospinal fluid passes. Because of the blockage, the cerebrospinal fluid cannot pass into the subarachnoid space and in consequence accumulates in the ventricles.

Please click here to view the full topic text: Dandy-Walker Malformation
Background: Dandy-Walker malformation is a rare congenital malformation and involves the cerebellum and fourth ventricle. The condition is characterized by agenesis or hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle, and enlargement of the posterior fossa. A large number of concomitant problems may be present, but the syndrome exists whenever these 3 features are found. Approximately 70-90% of patients have hydrocephalus, which often develops postnatally. Dandy-Walker malformation may be associated with atresia of the foramen of Magendie and, possibly, the foramen of Luschka. Dandy-Walker malformation first was described by Dandy and Blackfan in 1914. Since the original description, additional studies have reported on the various morphologic features of the syndrome. Not until 1954 did Benda first emphasize that atresia of the cerebellar outlet foramina is not an essential feature of the condition and suggested the now widely accepted term Dandy-Walker malformation. Studies by D’Agostino in 1963 and Hart et al in 1972 further defined the characteristic triad of Dandy-Walker malformation as consisting of (1) complete or partial agenesis of the vermis, (2) cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle, and (3) an enlarged posterior fossa with upward displacement of lateral sinuses, tentorium, and torcular herophili. The triad typically is found in association with supratentorial hydrocephalus, which should be considered a complication rather than part of the malformation complex.

What is Dandy-Walker Syndrome?
Dandy-Walker Syndrome is a congenital brain malformation involving the cerebellum and the fluid filled spaces around it. The cerebellum is an area at the back of the brain that controls movement. Children with Dandy-Walker Syndrome may never have normal intellectual development. The length of their life span depends on the severity of the syndrome and associated malformations. The presence of multiple congenital defects may shorten life span. Dandy-Walker Syndrome is frequently associated with disorders of other areas of the central nervous system including absence of the connecting area between the two cerebral hemispheres, and malformations of the heart , face, limbs, fingers and toes. Dandy-Walker Syndrome is also called: Dandy-Walker Malformation, Dandy-Walker Cyst, Dandy-Walker Deformity, DWM, Hydrocephalus, Internal, Dandy-Walker Type, Hydrocephalus, Noncommunicating, Dandy-Walker Type, Luschka-Magendie Foramina Atresia.

Dandy-Walker Syndrome
This article submitted by Kathy Beladi on 11/9/95.
One of the ladies I work with has a son who has Dandy-Walker
Syndrome. She would like to obtain some information on what
to expect in the future for him. He is currently seven years
old and was diagnosed with this at the age of 18 months. We
have been trying to locate some reference material on Dandy-
Walker but have been unable to obtain very much information.
The information we have obtained is too technical for what
she would like to know. Also, we would some information on
current research being done on this and the names and ways
to contact specialists in this field. Thank you. Next Article Previous Article Return to Topic Menu

Dandy-Walker Syndrome
Dandy-Walker malformation is a rare congenital brain malformation characterised by partial or complete absence of the cerebellar vermis, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle, and enlargement of the posterior fossa. A large number of associated problems may also be present such as hydrocephalus (often develops postnatally), atresia of the foramen of Magendie and atresia of the foramen of Luschka. Epidemiology
Incidence
Approximately 1 in 30,000 live births. Occurs more frequently in females than males. Risk Factors Marked variation has been shown in the genetics and aetiology. Recurrence risk for siblings may be high when there is an association with a single gene disorder. Dandy-Walker Syndrome may also result from chromosomal anomalies or environmental factors. Associated environmental factors include first trimester exposure to rubella cytomegalovirus toxoplasmosis or warfarin . When the evidence suggests that there is no association with a Mendelian or chromosomal disorder then the recurrence risk is relatively low at between 1 and 5% Presentation The diagnosis of Dandy-Walker malformation can be made by antenatal ultrasound . MRI evaluation can then be used antenatally to confirm the diagnosis and gain more detailed information. Symptoms

What is Dandy-Walker syndrome?
Answer
Thank you for your enquiry of the NetDoctor Ask the Doctor Team. In order to discuss Dandy -Walker Syndrome, one needs first to say something of the anatomy and physiology of the brain. The brain and spinal cord are covered by three membranes, collectively known as the meninges and it is these that become inflamed in meningitis.
There is a space between the first membrane covering the nervous tissue and the second that is called the subarachnoid space. It is filled with a fluid known as cerebrospinal fluid or CSF. The same fluid is found in hollow cavities or ventricles within each side of the brain and the part of the brain that joins the base to the spinal cord, known as the brain stem. There are four ventricles. The two (one on either side) in the so called cerebral hemispheres are termed the lateral ventricles, while the two in the mid brain, extending down through the brain stem into the central channel running through the middle of the spinal cord are termed the third and fourth ventricles.
