Summary

Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) is a rare genetic disorder causing severe brain, eye, and muscle abnormalities. Cranial MRI aided in identifying a new case, highlighting key radiologic findings of this lethal condition.

Background:

Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) is a rare, lethal autosomal recessive disorder.
It is characterized by a spectrum of severe congenital malformations.

Observation:

This report details a new case of WWS.
Diagnosis was facilitated by advanced cranial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
The study focuses on the characteristic radiologic findings.

Findings:

WWS presents with lissencephaly (smooth brain).
Cerebellar and retinal malformations are key features.
Congenital muscular dystrophy is also associated.

Implications:

Accurate radiologic diagnosis is crucial for WWS identification.
Understanding WWS imaging patterns aids in early detection and management.
Further research into WWS pathogenesis and potential therapies is warranted.
