Abstract
Dyke Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare disease characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy due to brain insult in fetal life. Clinical symptoms include seizures, facial asymmetry, hemiplegia or hemiparesis, and mental retardation. Radiological modalities illustrate unilateral loss of cerebral paranchyma and ipsilateral bone changes due to hemiatrophy. The syndrome had been described mainly in children or adolescents, besides a few cases were reported in adults.
