“…In contrast, our patient had the first seizure episode in adulthood at the age of 31 years. The literature search shows that only two other cases of DDMS in adults had the same presentation with first-time seizure episodes occurring in adulthood [3,17]. Seizures can be focal or generalized.…”

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare congenital or acquired neurological disorder that most commonly affects the pediatric population but is also rarely reported in adults. DDMS results from brain injury in the intrauterine or early years of life. It is characterized by prominent cortical sulci, hyperpneumatization of the frontal sinus, unilateral cerebral hemiatrophy with ventricular dilation, and associated bony thickness of the cranial vault. Seizures and asymmetric hemiparesis are the most consistent findings in DDMS with facial asymmetry and mental retardation widely reported. Herein, we report a case of a 32-year-old female patient with DDMS presenting with a history of seizure and right-sided hemiparesis. Neuroimaging findings showed asymmetric cerebral encephalomalacia and gliosis with ex vacuo ventricular dilatation and calvarial diploic space widening. Our case report is unique in the sense that our patient presented with DDMS in adulthood with no signs of mental retardation or history of seizures during childhood and well-controlled seizures on monotherapy. Given the adult presentation of DDMS is unusual and rarely reported in the medical literature, our case report will help physicians to keep DDMS high on differential diagnoses in such cases. Awareness of the clinical features of DDMS on imaging can facilitate a timely and accurate diagnosis, thereby enabling appropriate and prompt management.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome (DDMS) is a rare condition usually diagnosed in paediatric patients with clinical features of hemiparesis, seizures, mental retardation and contralateral cerebral hemiatrophy on neuroimaging. This report follows the case of a 22-year-old man presenting with seizures and hemiatrophy and hemiparesis. On review of cases the most common neuroimaging findings were cerebral hemiatrophy (100%) followed by hemicalvarial thickening (71.4%) and hyperpneumatisation of sinuses (71.4%). Apart from our patient, all nine cases with data on epilepsy control had drug-resistant epilepsy. The onset of seizures in adulthood, block vertebra, short stature, absence of mental retardation and well-controlled epilepsy on monotherapy makes our case exceptional-even bringing to mind the possibility of a DDMS variant. This report exhaustively reviews the wide range of clinical and radiological manifestations of DDMS in the adult, thereby adding to the literature on an unusual syndrome that causes significant neurological morbidity.
