Abstract

CONDE CARDONA, Giancarlos et al. Structural epilepsy due to Dyke Davidoff Masson syndrome: an infrequent case of refractory epilepsy. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.4, pp.251-256. ISSN 0120-8748.  https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022163.

Dyke Davidoff Masson syndrome is an uncommon neurological condition, characterized by epileptic seizures, cognitive impairment, and variable neurological compromise on physical examination. In the studies of images by tomography and cerebral magnetic resonance, cerebral hemiatrophy with sinus and calotte involvement is observed. There are currently less than 100 articles published in the published database. We review the existing literature and report a case of a 21-year-old male patient with refractory epilepsy, mental retardation and right hemiparesis in which a magnetic resonance test is performed, 1.5 tesla, which concludes the diagnostic imaging.

Keywords : Epilepsy; Dyke-Davidoff-Masson síndrome; drug resistant epilepsy; facial asymmetry (MeSH).
