Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, facial asymmetry, contralateral hemiplegia, radiologic features of cerebral hemiatrophy, and ipsilateral compensatory hypertrophy of the skull bone and sinuses. We describe three cases of children with DDMS, who initially presented with refractory seizure to the pediatric department of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, India. In each case, the clinical features noted along with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging helped confirm the diagnosis of DDMS. DDMS should be considered as a differential diagnosis of refractory seizures in children. We seek to emphasize the importance of thorough clinical and neuroimaging workup of seizure disorder in children for the proper management of the condition.
戴克-戴维多夫-马森综合征（DDMS）是一种罕见的疾病，其特征为反复发作的癫痫、面部不对称、对侧偏瘫、脑半球萎缩的放射学特征以及同侧颅骨和鼻窦的代偿性肥大。我们描述了3例DDMS患儿，他们最初因难治性癫痫就诊于印度北孟加拉医学院和医院的儿科。在每例病例中，所观察到的临床特征以及计算机断层扫描或磁共振成像有助于确诊DDMS。DDMS应被视为儿童难治性癫痫的鉴别诊断之一。我们旨在强调对儿童癫痫障碍进行全面的临床和神经影像学检查对于妥善管理该疾病的重要性。
