Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare neurological anomaly encompassing clinical features of seizures, contralateral hemiparesis, facial asymmetry, and intellectual dysfunction. Radiographic findings include cerebral hemiatrophy and ipsilateral calvarial thickening. We encountered an 11-year-old male who presented with new-onset seizures and a 4-year history of weakness in the abduction of his right arm, previously being managed as Erb's palsy. Brain MRI revealed atrophy of the left cerebral hemisphere with ipsilateral dilated ventricle and osseous thickening, consistent with the congenital form of DDMS. We present this case of an atypical presentation of DDMS.
戴克-戴维多夫-马森综合征(DDMS)是一种罕见的神经异常,包括癫痫发作、对侧偏瘫、面部不对称和智力功能障碍等临床特征。影像学表现包括大脑半球萎缩和同侧颅骨增厚。我们遇到一名11岁男性,他出现新发癫痫发作,并有4年右臂外展无力病史,之前被诊断为产伤性臂丛神经麻痹。脑部磁共振成像显示左侧大脑半球萎缩,同侧脑室扩张和骨质增厚,符合先天性DDMS的表现。我们报告这例DDMS的非典型表现病例。
