Pedi Neuropath

The text discusses various congenital brain malformations and their associated conditions, highlighting different neuropathological issues. It includes descriptions of posterior fossa malformations like the Dandy-Walker syndrome, characterized by an enlarged posterior fossa and an absent vermis, often linked to hydrocephalus and Arnold-Chiari malformations.
