Abstract

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson sendromu (DDMS) ilk kez 1933 yılında Dyke, Davidoff ve Masson tarafından
tanımlanan, sıklıkla çocukluk döneminde ortaya çıkan, nöbet, hemipleji/ hemiparezi, zihinsel yetersizlik,
serebral hemiatrofi, fasiyal asimetri, kalvaryal kalınlaşma, frontal sinüslerin hiperpnömatizasyonuyla
karakterize nadir görülen bir sendromdur. Bu vakada, fokal epilepsi ve hemiparezi tanısı ile izlenen, eşlik
eden fasiyal asimetri, zihinsel yetersizlik ve kraniyal görüntülemesinde DDMS ile uyumlu bulguları olan
15 yaşında bir kız hasta sunularak serebral hemiatrofi ayırıcı tanısında DDMS düşünülmesi gerektiği
vurgulanmak istenmiştir. DDMS’nin tedavisi semptomatiktir ve tedavi epileptik nöbetler, hemiparezi
veya hemipleji ve öğrenme güçlüğü gibi sorunlara yönelik olmalıdır. Sonuç olarak, epilepsi tanısı ile
izlenen hastaların nörolojik muayenesinde fasial asimetri ve hemiparezi saptanması durumunda
mutlaka kranyal MRG yapılmalı ve görüntülemede serebral hemiatrofi, kafatası kemiklerinde kalınlaşma
gibi bulguların eşlik etmesi durumunda DDMS de aklımıza gelmeli ve diğer serebral hemiatrofi yapan
nedenlerle ayırıcı tanı yapılmalıdır.

A Rarely Seen Case Report: Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome

Year 2023, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 99 - 101, 28.04.2023

Abstract

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) was first described by Dyke, Davidoff and Masson in 1933. It
is a rarely-observed syndrome characterized by seizures, hemiplegia/hemiparesis, intellectual disability,
cerebral hemi-atrophy, facial asymmetry, calvarial thickening, and hyperpneumatization of the frontal
sinuses, frequently emerging in the childhood period. In this case, a 15-year old girl monitored for focal
epilepsy and hemiparesis diagnosis with accompanying facial asymmetry, intellectual disability and
findings compatible with DDMS on cranial imaging is presented to emphasize the need to consider
DDMS in differential diagnosis of cerebral hemi-atrophy. The treatment for DDMS is symptomatic
and treatment should target problems like epileptic seizures, hemiparesis or hemiplegia and learning
difficulties. In conclusion, if neurological examination of patients monitored for epilepsy diagnosis
identifies facial asymmetry and hemiparesis, cranial MRI should definitely be performed. If accompanied
by findings like cerebral hemi-atrophy and thickening of the skull bones on imaging, DDMS should come
to mind and differential diagnosis should be performed for other causes of cerebral hemi-atrophy.
