New Delhi: Team of neurosurgeons from the department of Neurosurgery at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, have developed first ever endoscopic classification of pediatric posterior fossa cysts also known as Dandy-Walker Syndrome, DWS, in children younger than 5 years.
