Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that your current symptoms are most likely not related to Dandy Walker syndrome.
Dandy walker syndrome typically affects children, and causes imbalance while walking, weakness of arms and legs, etc.
It usually affects the back of head on both sides.
If your symptoms persist, please get a brain MRI scan done and upload the report.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
