Dyke–Davidoff–Masson syndrome: A typical case of late diagnosis

Dyke–Davidoff–Masson syndrome, a rare clinico-radiological neurological entity generally observed in childhood, is classically characterized by epileptic seizures, facial asymmetry, contralateral hemiplegia or hemiparesis, convulsions, mental retardation, skull, and frontal sinus anomalies. It is poorly recognized and generally mistaken for ischemic lesions. We report the clinical and radiological data of a 39-year-old patient with a left-hemisphere deficit since childhood and mention of absence seizures.
