In questo studio vengono esaminati 5 piccoli pazienti, 4 affetti da malformazione vera di Dandy-Walker ed 1 da variante di tale malformazione, mediante ecotomografia transfontanellare e TC in modo da valutare comparativamente i risultati ottenuti con le due metodiche. Gli autori concludono che ambedue le indagini possiedono la stessa sensibilità; la TC è tuttavia più specifica, in quanto ha sempre permesso una diagnosi di certezza.
