Dyke Davidoff Masson Syndrome with Hypothyroidism Complicated with Respiratory and Urinary Tract Infections: A Case Report

The Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome (DDMS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by unilateral cerebral atrophy. Clinical features may include seizures, hemi paresis, facial asymmetry, and intellectual disability. The causative factors include an insult to the brain in utero or early infancy e.g., CNS infections, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intracranial haemorrhage, trauma, inherited vascular malformations, but in some cases, no risk factors are found. Here, we present the case of a known epileptic patient with a history of stroke who presented with fever, abdominal pain with distention, and facial swelling. The diagnosis was established after clinical history, examination, and MRI findings.
