“…Uszkodzenie mózgu na etapie dojrzewania ośrodkowego układu nerwowego prowadzi do utraty neuronów i dalszego zahamowania jego rozwoju. Niedorozwój fragmentu mózgu powoduje kompensacyjne pogrubienie struktur kostnych po stronie uszkodzenia (Aldhaleei et al, 2020;Dhawan et al, 2023;Dilber et al, 2020;Ibañez Valdés et al, 2021;Shahid, 2018). Wrodzony DDMS jest zazwyczaj konsekwencją wewnątrzmacicznej hipoksji mózgu; mogą za to odpowiadać: wewnątrzmaciczne zwężenie naczyń na poziomie tętnicy środkowej mózgu płodu, koarktacja aorty, malformacje naczyniowe, zawał mózgu czy infekcje wewnątrzmaciczne.…”

“…Podejrzewa się, że niepełnosprawność intelektualna jest konsekwencją padaczki (Kumar et al, 2016;Li et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2021). U części chorych pojawiają się także epizodyczne bóle głowy (Abdul Rashid and Md Noh, 2018;Acharya et al, 2022;Aldhaleei et al, 2020). Opisano też objawy w obrębie ucha zewnętrznego oraz jamy ustnej, takie jak opóźnione wyrzynanie zębów, ich hipoplazja czy taurodontyzm (Dhawan et al, 2023;Djimdé et al, 2022;Kalaskar i Kalaskar, 2018;Wang et al, 2021).…”

Dyke–Davidoff–Mason syndrome is an extremely rare medical condition that results from brain damage occurring during foetal life or early childhood. The aetiology of the syndrome can be congenital or acquired. The clinical presentation of the syndrome is variable, and depends on the extent of damage to the central nervous system. It most commonly manifests as epileptic seizures, intellectual disability, and hemiparesis/hemiplegia, which is usually preceded by the first seizure. It is suspected that intellectual impairment is a consequence of epilepsy. The spectrum of symptoms also includes psychiatric conditions, particularly psychotic disorders and mood disorders. Radiological manifestations of the syndrome include midline cerebral shift, widening of the Sylvian fissure, hemispheric aplasia/hypoplasia of the brain, ipsilateral cranial bone thickening, lateral ventricle enlargement, as well as hyperpneumatisation of the frontal and sphenoid bones, and the mastoid process. Diagnosis is mainly based on imaging tests such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as neurological examination and electroencephalography. During the patient’s history-taking, particular attention should be paid to pregnancy history and the childhood period in order to identify potential etiological factors. No characteristic changes in laboratory tests indicating Dyke–Davidoff–Mason syndrome have been found. Treatment is primarily symptomatic. The greatest challenge for physicians is the control of epileptic seizures. Conservative treatment is initially employed. If proven to be ineffective, surgical treatment should be considered.

A rare neurological condition known as Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy, facial asymmetry, contralateral motor impairment, and seizures. Cerebral hypoplasia, ventriculomegaly, paranasal sinus hyper-pneumatization, and compensatory osseous expansion are classic imaging findings. The relationship between clinical and neuroimaging findings provides the basis for the diagnosis of DDMS. DDMS is treated with anticonvulsant medication and physical therapy. This is the case of a 26-year-old male, with a known case of cerebral palsy and on antiepileptics for 15 years, who presented with complaints of generalized weakness, vomiting, difficulty walking, recurrent convulsions, and a recent episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Neuroimaging revealed findings significant of Dyke Davidoff Masson Syndrome. Understanding its imaging and clinical characteristics facilitates prompt and precise diagnosis, permitting appropriate management.

“…Since 1933 when it was described for the first time, almost 100 cases have been reported [2], while only 21 cases have been reported in adults [1]. It is described by the presence of cerebral hemiatrophy, dilation of the lateral ventricle on the ipsilateral side, compensatory hypertrophy of skull bones, and enlargement of the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses [3]. Patients usually present with seizures, hemiplegia or hemiparesis, facial asymmetry, and cognitive or psychiatric symptoms [4].…”

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare disease affecting the brain with almost 100 cases previously reported, with only 21 cases among adults. Due to the intricacy of clinical manifestations and radiological findings, it is difficult to reach the diagnosis. It usually includes atrophy of the cerebral hemisphere, dilation of the lateral ventricle, hypertrophy of skull bones, and hyperpneumatization of air sinuses. Herein, we present a case of a 55-year-old female patient who presented with a new-onset seizure. This case emphasizes the importance of considering DDMS in the differential diagnosis of adult-onset seizures, especially in patients with a previous history of brain insult, and demonstrates the possibility of developing this condition despite the lack of childhood symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Jordan.
