“…A similar pathophysiological association has been described in patients with disorders o f cerebral cortical migration and brain lesions resulting from intrauterine brain ischemia or hypoperfusion [13,14]. Such observations are paralleled by those of Pascual-Castroviejo et al [15], who described a syndrome with facial hemangiomas, intracranial vascular abnormalities and cortical organization disorders, suggesting a direct relation between these features. The evidence of the close interaction between the developing circulatory and nervous system [16], and the demonstration of the existence of a "vascular niche", acting as a permissive substrate and guiding neuronal migration during cerebral cortical development [17], further support such theories.…”

“…DDMS and cerebral migration disorders are associated with abnormalities that affect the development of cerebral arteries and the persistence of embryonic arteries, Dandy Walker malformation and cerebellar malformations, as well as congenital vascular abnormalities, such as facial hemangioma and reticulated capillary malformations have been described [10]. These findings suggest a common angiogenetic developmental anomaly occurring during the same embryonic period, approximately 4-5 weeks [11]. Male sex and left hemisphere predisposition to vascular impairment has been reported in DDMS [3].…”

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome: case report of fetal unilateral ventriculomegaly and hypoplastic left middle cerebral artery

Prenatal ultrasonographic detection of unilateral cerebral ventriculomegaly arises suspicion of pathological condition related to cerebrospinal fluid flow obstruction or cerebral parenchimal pathology. Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a rare condition characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy, calvarial thickening, skull and facial asymmetry, contralateral hemiparesis, cognitive impairment and seizures. Congenital and acquired types are recognized and have been described, mainly in late childhood, adolescence and adult ages. We describe a female infant with prenatal diagnosis of unilateral left ventriculomegaly in which early brain MRI and contrast enhanced-MRI angiography, showed cerebral left hemiatrophy associated with reduced caliber of the left middle cerebral artery revealing the characteristic findings of the Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome. Prenatal imaging, cerebral vascular anomaly responsible for the cerebral hemiatrophy and the early clinical evolution have never been described before in such a young child and complete the acquired clinical descriptions in older children. Differential diagnosis, genetic investigations, neurophysiologic assessments, short term clinical and developmental follow up are described. Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome must be ruled out in differential diagnosis of fetal unilateral ventriculomegaly. Early clinical assessment, differential diagnosis and cerebral imaging including cerebral MRI angiography allow the clinicians to diagnose also in early infancy this rare condition.

“…Intracranial vascular supply is often accomplished through persisting embryonic arteries, mainly the trigeminal or proatlantal arteries [5 -9] . Both anterior cerebral arteries (ACA) have their origin on the same side in most patients, most frequently because of the absence of the internal carotid on the opposite side [10,11] , but also with normal development of both internal carotids [9] . The origin of both ACA from the same internal carotid is commonly associated with a defi cient supply of the frontal or even parietal areas of the contralateral hemisphere and a borderline or low mental level [11] .…”

Conventional arteriography in an 11-month-old boy with cardiopathy, aortic arch coarctation and haemangiomas showed the absence of the right internal carotid and vertebral arteries, hypertrophy of the right external carotid artery, with enlargement of the internal maxillary and ophthalmic arteries that supplied the right cerebral hemisphere. An MRI study showed an infarcted area in the posterior zone of the left cerebral hemisphere vascularised by the middle cerebral artery that was caused by a thrombosis during a severe bout of gastroenteritis. MRA studies performed at 16 and 23 years of age revealed progressive narrowing of the left carotid and vertebral arteries, persistence of the proatlantal and trigeminal arteries, and poor cerebral vascularisation that, at adult age, was entirely supplied through collateral arteries, branches of both external carotids, the presence of unilateral duplication of the vertebral arteries and ascending pharyngeal artery.
