A Rare Pediatric Neurological Case: Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome Unprecedented at 10 Months.

This case report presents a rare occurrence of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome (DDMS) in a 10-month-old male child, highlighting the atypical presentation of this neurological disorder in early infancy. The child initially presented with irritability, loss of appetite, and right-sided weakness following episodes of fever. A comprehensive medical history revealed the sudden onset of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, prompting further investigation. Diagnostic imaging, including CT and MRI, confirmed features consistent with DDMS, including cerebral hemiatrophy, ventricular enlargement, and calvarial thickening. Notably, the child's seizures were successfully managed with antiepileptic medication, leading to stabilized vital signs. This case emphasizes the importance of considering rare neurological disorders in pediatric patients with unusual presentations and underscores the challenges in diagnosing and managing DDMS in infancy. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms, contributing factors, and optimal management strategies for DDMS in this age group.
