Walker Malformation

Introduction: Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) is a rare congenital disorder that involves the cerebellum and fourth ventricle. Incidentally detected asymptomatic DWM is sparsely reported in literature at extremes of age (from 1 to 75 years) in association with different diseases. We aim to report the case of a patient with an incidental finding of a DWM after a road traffic accident, reinforcing the importance of suspicion, investigation, diagnosis of clinical presentations. The Case: This case report describes a 27-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency room after a motor vehicle collision. She suffered a left kidney and spleen injury. The patient’s brain CT scan revealed an enlarged cisterna magna with normal cerebellum, partial hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis and enlargement of the fourth ventricle compatible with DWM. Neurological examination was unremarkable. An exploratory laparotomy was performed, and the left kidney and spleen showed hemorrhage, so a left nephrectomy and splenectomy was done. Conclusions: This case report aimed to characterize the DWM, which is a congenital malformation of the central nervous system. Asymptomatic patients do not require surgical treatment; however, these patients should be followed up once a year.

Posterior Fossa Malformation

Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) or syndrome is a posterior fossa anomaly characterized by agenesis or hypoplasia of the vermis and cystic enlargement of the fourth ventricle causing upward displacement of tentorium and torcula. Most patients have hydrocephalus at the time of diagnosis. DMW is the most common posterior fossa malformation, and it typically occurs sporadically. This is a case report of male fetus that was diagnosed to have Dandy Walker Malformation during the antenatal obstetric scans.

In this paper, we present a patient who underwent an emergency exploratory laparotomy after Motor Vehicle Collison (MVC) leading to splenic injury, avascular necrosis of kidney and right upper extremity Colles’ fracture. Goal of the paper is to present a patient of polytrauma along with its treatment plan in terms of prioritizing the standard of care. We also discuss various radiographical findings along with gross surgical findings that were found intraoperatively.South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.7(1) 2017: 58-61

Increased Risk

A positive seatbelt sign following a motor vehicle accident is associated with an increased risk of intra-abdominal injury and hemoperitoneum. Injury to the uterus in reproductive-age women can also occur. In this report, we describe a 29-year-old nulligravida female who presented to the emergency room following a motor vehicle accident at freeway speeds. A positive seatbelt sign was noted, and a focused assessment with sonography for trauma revealed hemoperitoneum with an incidental finding of uterine leiomyomata. Upon exploratory laparotomy, a free-floating intraperitoneal mass was identified as an avulsed uterine leiomyoma. A uterine laceration containing a subserosal leiomyoma was also identified. The gynecological team was consulted, and a myomectomy of the subserosal leiomyoma followed by a closure of the uterine laceration was performed. The patient was transfused with a total of three units of packed red blood cells and two units of fresh frozen plasma. The postoperative course was without major complication. A positive seatbelt sign and hemoperitoneum in a reproductive-age woman with leiomyomata should increase the clinical suspicion for uterine injury and decrease the threshold for obtaining a gynecological consultation.

Walker Malformation

Precocious puberty is characterised by premature appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 7 years in girls and 9 years in boys. Dandy-Walker malformation comprises a spectrum of intracranial malformations of the posterior fossa. We present a case of a 7-year-old male child who has presented with features of central precocious puberty and on further evaluation has been found to have Dandy-Walker variant and secondary hypothyroidism. The following case report describes this association which is extremely rare and has never been described in literature.
