“…Basal ganglia germinoma may present with cerebral hemiatrophy and progressive hemiparesis [3]. The characteristic features of linear nevus syndrome are facial nevus, cyclic refractory seizures, growth restriction, mental retardation, and unilateral ventriculomegaly [13]. Silver-Russell syndrome is an imprinting gene disorder characterized by severe intrauterine and postnatal growth restriction.…”

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare neurological entity that is predominantly seen in childhood. Here, we present the case of a 13-year-old girl who was brought to the pediatric ward for general examination with a previous history of seizures, speech difficulty, facial deviation, and progressive leftsided hemiparesis that started at the age of two, followed by delayed developmental milestones. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed right cerebral hemiatrophy, ventriculomegaly, hyperpneumatization of the sinus, the decreased caliber of cortical veins, and skull thickening on the right were all characteristic findings of DDMS. Based on the history, clinical presentation, and imaging findings from CT and MRI, DDMS was confirmed. Identifying DDMS in a clinical setting can be challenging because of low awareness of the condition and varied clinical presentations. Although CT and MRI imaging are the gold standards in diagnosing DDMS, the early manifestations of the disease cannot be well-appreciated on a CT and would likely require an MRI. Since there is no standardized protocol for managing DDMS, the treatment is primarily symptomatic. Early identification and diagnosis of the syndrome are essential to aid the child's mental and physical development through a multidisciplinary approach. There is also a need to improve awareness of DDMS so that the condition can be considered a potential differential diagnosis amongst other similar conditions and does not get misdiagnosed. The lack of a proper protocol for the management of DDMS prompts more research for a better understanding and early identification of the condition.

“…Furthermore, a few patients with RAVEN and FGFR3-ENS also had autism spectrum disorder. [28], Salman et al [29]. "Other" includes neurofibroma associated with the nevus [32], severe quadriplegia [17], plagiocephaly [33], asymmetry of spontaneous movements (no diagnosis provided) [28], hearing loss [34], hypoglossal palsy [34], and diffuse hypotonia [31].…”
