Abstract
Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare cerebral malformation characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy associated with compensatory hypertrophy of the skull and ipsilateral paranasal sinuses. Clinical manifestations include seizures, contralateral hemiparesis, and cognitive delay. Diagnosis is established through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which reveals hallmark features such as unilateral cerebral atrophy, ex vacuo ventricular dilatation, skull thickening, and gliosis. We present the case of a young adult with nonspecific neurological symptoms and a history of childhood epilepsy, in whom MRI demonstrated findings consistent with Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome.
Keywords: Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome, cerebral hemiatrophy, magnetic resonance imaging, seizures, brain atrophy, radiological findings, congenital neurological disorders.
