Posterior Fossa Cysts
There was associated agenesis of corpus callosum, ventriculomegaly and fourth ventricle communicating with posterior fossa cyst suggestive of Dandy-Walker malformation. There was hypoplasia of bilateral cerebellar hemispheres. [webmedcentral.com]

Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis for children with lissencephaly depends on the degree of brain malformation. Many will die before the age of 10 years. The cause of death is usually aspiration of food or fluids, respiratory disease, or severe seizures. [cmcdfoundation.org]
Rational classification of these disorders is essential for proper prognosis, genetic testing and counseling, and investigation of the underlying molecular causes. [scinapse.io]
