Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a rare disorder which developed hemiatrophy of brain, enlargement of ventricles and prominent pneumatization of petrous pyramid of the temporal bone. It manifests hemiparesis, varying type seizure, and mental
retardation.
We experienced two cases of Dyke-avidoff-Masson Syndrome, in a 6/12 year-old boy and a 1, 10/12 year-old girl who were admitted to our department of pediatrics, because of convulsion and hemiparesis
The brain CT scan showed marked dilatation of lateral ventricle, prominent sylvian fissure and cortical sulci.
So we report two cases of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome with review of literature.
