Abstract
We present a case of trans-sphenoidal encephalomeningocele in association w ith a posterior cranial fossa malformation which fulfils the criteria for t he Dandy-Walker complex [1]. Congenital cardiovascular defects were also pr esent. An abnormality of neural crest development may be responsible for th e combined occurrence of these anomalies.
