dandy walker varient??

every time my 12 year has a brain mri.. its suggest dandy walker varient and his docters claim he would have to be mentally retarded in order to have this..which he is not... but... has been dx with aspergers,learning issues, spina bifida occultta, tethered cord  with syrinx and scoliosis. his symtoms (symptoms) are poor gait, weakness in hand feet and legs, synscope, headaches, learning difficulties, ataxia. degenerative myopia and tremor.. to me it sounds like it has to do with both the brain and spine..he just took a three spine mri's and they came back ok.. my question is there a mild form of dandy walker?? and how come the dr's arent seening this?? also does anybody know symptoms of dandy walker varient??

Unfortunately it may take changes in his doctors to see, and think "outside the box."  I'm not a doc, and can't answer your questions, but it would seem that your boy doesn't quite "fit" the explanation(s) you've been given, and I think you're well within your rights to ask as many questions as you need to,  
I certainly hope it's not too long before you get answers; take care,
