Case report details seizures and brain imaging abnormalities in a teenager, implying the importance of neuroimaging.
Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a rare clinico-radiological entity, characterized clinically by seizure activity, facial asymmetry, and hemiparesis. The clinical presentation may also include motor, cognitive, and behavioral impairments. Neuroimaging, particularly computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a fundamental role in the diagnosis and management of this condition. MRI enabled a straightforward diagnosis of the syndrome, revealing cerebral hemiatrophy, thickening of the cranial vault, and hyperpneumatization of the frontal sinus. We report a case of a teenager presenting with seizures highlighting the pivotal role of imaging in identifying this syndrome.
