Newborn on day one came to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for evaluation of hydrocephalus. Fetal cranial ultrasound revealed deficient vermis with a posterior fossa cyst communicating with 4th ventricle suggestive of Dandy-Walker malformation. Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis showed echogenic enlarged kidneys containing small cysts. The diagnosis of Goldston syndrome was suggested. Dandy-Walker malformation was confirmed by MRI brain.
