Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome: Two case reports
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 41, Issue 3
Abstract
Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome was first described as a rare congenital malformation by Dyke in 1933. Main clinical findings include unilateral cerebral atrophy, fascial assymmetry, contralateral hemiparesis and seizures. Clinical findings may vary depending on the magnitude of cerebral injury. Prenatal infections, congenital pathologies, delivery trauma, cerebral tumors, febrile seizures and cerebrovascular diseases are blamed for its etiology. The most important radiologic findings include cerebral atrophy and enlargement of the ipsilateral lateral ventricle, thickening of calvarium, increased aeration in mastoid cells and paranasal sinuses and bulged temporal bone. Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging may contribute to diagnosis along with magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography in detection of its etiology and cerebral parenchymal injury. In this paper, two cases of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome are presented in light of clinical findings and radiologic images. Key words: Cerebral hemiatrophy, epilepsy, diffusion MRI
