Abstract

The article is devoted to an actual problem in pediatrics - malformations of the central nervous system, such as Dandy-Walker anomaly and pachygyria. In world practice, over the past 5 years, many studies have been carried out to identify statistics on congenital malformations of the central nervous system in children. In this article we will introduce you to several foreign articles where the results of the research were published. And also with a clinical case from our practice.
Clinical-anamnestic, laboratory-instrumental, social aspects and problems of prenatal diagnostics are briefly described. The article presents our own observations of the Dandy-Walker syndrome in combination with pachygyria in a 4-month-old boy, and the results of magnetic resonance imaging.
The analysis involved the use of domestic and foreign sources containing evidence-based, experimental and clinical evidence on the most modern issues related to the study of the current topic in the field of pediatrics and child neurology, “Congenital malformations of the central nervous system.” Publications were studied using the resource of search engines of various scientific.
