DYKE-DAVIDOFF MASSON SYNDROME: A RARE CASE REPORT WITH DELAYED DIAGNOSIS

Abstract

Dyke-Davidoff Masson syndrome is a rare case characterized by cerebral hemi-atrophy secondary to in-utero or early childhood cerebral insult, such as infarct, trauma or infection. It usually presents in infancy or childhood with unilateral hemiplegia or hemiparesis, seizures, facial asymmetry and mental retardation. Here we are reporting a rare case of Dyke-Davidoff Masson syndrome in an 18-year female patient who came for routine evaluation to medicine OPD and was diagnosed with Dyke-Davidoff Masson syndrome on MRI scan.
