# Dyke‐Davidoff‐Masson Syndrome in a Female Adult: A Rare Case of Progressive Hemiparesis, Epilepsy, and Cerebral Hemiatrophy

## TL;DR

This paper presents a rare case of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome in an adult woman, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for better care.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in reporting DDMS in an adult female, a rare occurrence, emphasizing MRI's role in diagnosis.

## Key findings

- DDMS was diagnosed in an adult female with hemiparesis, epilepsy, and cerebral hemiatrophy.
- MRI confirmed cerebral hemiatrophy with compensatory skull and sinus hypertrophy.
- Early recognition of DDMS can improve symptom management and patient outcomes.

## Abstract

Consideration of Dyke‐Davidoff‐Masson syndrome (DDMS) in patients with epilepsy, hemiparesis, and cognitive impairment should be taken into account. MRI plays a key role in diagnosing this rare disorder by recognizing cerebral hemiatrophy with compensatory skull and sinus hypertrophy. Early recognition can assist with symptom management and improve patient care, the prognosis.
