Six cases of Dandy-Walker malformation are presented. Five of them, diagnosed in 18-20 gestation weeks, respectively ended up in intermission of the pregnancy in second trimester and one case, diagnosed in 29-30 gestation weeks ended up in giving birth to a hypotrophical foetus in a good general state. The opportunities for diagnosis by 2D/3D echography have been considered in accordance with the new classification of abnormality of the fetal posterior fossa fluid collections. This is a clinical approach and a possible way out for the pregnancy and the new-born baby.
