Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome: A rare case of hemiatrophy of brain—Case report from Nepal

[摘要] Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare neurological disorder that results from brain injury during intrauterine or early years of life. Prominent cortical sulci, dilated lateral ventricles, cerebral hemiatrophy, hyperpneumatization of the sinus, and compensatory hypertrophy of the skull are the characteristic findings. We describe a female patient who presented with a history of seizure, right-sided body weakness, and neuroimaging features of left cerebral hemiatrophy, dilatation of left lateral ventricle, left frontal sinus hyperpneumatization, asymmetric calvarial thickening, and elevation of the petrous ridge.
