for the benefit of parents on the hunt for whatever info they an get on DWS, I believe that data on this topic should be culled from wherever we can find it, bought to this page and then, we can scrutinise it and edit it.

I am adding three new sub sections that will slowly get bigger, the more time I (or you) have to add to them. These new subs will cover the three forms of DWS : DWS malformation / DWS mega cisterna magna / and / DWS variant

PS. I am not a medical professional, but a parent of a child with DWS variant. Please, if there are any badly defined medial terms or inappropriate expressions, fix them immediately! mangonorth

[edit] Extreme case of DWS

I agree, although we must make the point that this is one extreme case of DWS. The photo may dominat thew page a littlew perhaps some more sample photos would be useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.228.152.208 (talk) 11:09, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Deleted this section. The case depicted was non-communicating hydrocephalus (involving enlargement of the lateral and 3rd ventricle), not of DWS (congenital defect involving enlargement of 4th ventricle with aplasia of cerebellar vermis). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.248.164.235 (talk) 23:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
