Abstract
A rare neurological condition known as Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy, facial asymmetry, contralateral motor impairment, and seizures. Cerebral hypoplasia, ventriculomegaly, paranasal sinus hyper-pneumatization, and compensatory osseous expansion are classic imaging findings. The relationship between clinical and neuroimaging findings provides the basis for the diagnosis of DDMS. DDMS is treated with anticonvulsant medication and physical therapy.This is the case of a 26-year-old male, with a known case of cerebral palsy and on antiepileptics for 15 years, who presented with complaints of generalized weakness, vomiting, difficulty walking, recurrent convulsions, and a recent episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Neuroimaging revealed findings significant of Dyke Davidoff Masson Syndrome. Understanding its imaging and clinical characteristics facilitates prompt and precise diagnosis, permitting appropriate management.
