Abstract

We reported four cases of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome cerebral hemiatrophy . The first case is a severe form of cereberal hemiatrophy which may be confused with hydrocephalus. The other three are mild cases which are not so similar with hydrocephalus. In conclusion, the cases with severe cerebral hemiatrophy and ventricular enlargement may be confused with hydrocephalus.

Dyke - Davidoff - Masson Sendromu Hidrosefali ile Karışabilir

Abstract

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson serebral hemiatrofi sendromu tanısı mevcut dört vakayı sunuyoruz. İlk vaka hidrosefali ile karışabilecek serebral hemiatrofinin ciddi bir formudur. Diğer daha az ciddi serebral hemiatrofisi mevcut üç hastanın ise hidrosefali ile benzer yönü bulunmamaktadır. Sonuçta ciddi derecede serebral hemiatrofisi ve ventriküler genişlemesi var olan vakalar hidrosefali ile karışabilir.
