Abstract
Dyke Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a rare neurological condition that results from brain injury during early childhood stages. The precise incidence of this condition is unknown, with a slight male predominance, and adult forms have been documented. Imaging findings reveal hemisphere atrophy along with ipsilateral compensatory skull changes and hyper-pneumatization of mastoid cells. The treatment approach involves anti-epileptic medications and hemispherectomy is reserved for cases with intractable seizures. This case report delineates the clinical manifestation and therapeutic approach employed in an 8-year-old male patient exhibiting pharmaco-resistant left hemi-body convulsive seizures. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings revealed right cerebral hemiatrophy, mesencephalon atrophy, ipsilateral calvarial hypertrophy and hyperpneumatization of mastoid cells. The objective of this study is to contribute to the existing literature by presenting this rare case report. We propose that in cases involving pediatric pharmaco-resistant epilepsy, it is essential to conduct further investigations to establish a comprehensive management strategy.
