1. Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt. Once the patient has been diagnosed with Dandy Walker Syndrome, the main treatment is a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. A neurosurgeon puts one end of a little tube into a ventricle that is in the brain. The other end of the tube is placed under the skin and runs down to the abdominal cavity.
Treatment. Hydrocephalus associated with Dandy Walker syndrome is treated with surgery to insert a tube to redirect the fluid that surrounds the brain and to assist fluid drainage into other parts of the body that can absorb the fluid.
