| Abstract: | ![]()
Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is an uncommon neurological disease defined as cerebral hemiatrophy with a contralateral motor deficit, facial asymmetry, and seizures. Classic imaging findings are cerebral hypoplasia, ventriculomegaly, paranasal sinus hyper-pneumatization, and compensatory osseous enlargement. The diagnosis of DDMS is based on the correlation between clinical and neuroimaging features. The management of DDMS is based on anticonvulsant medication with physiotherapy. We describe an unusual case of DDMS presented with frequent and persistent seizures. |
