Major findings of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) are unilateral cerebral atrophy, contralateral hemiparesis and seizures. DDMS is a cranial malformation which is described by Dyke and his colleagues in 1933. The etiology of DDMS are trauma, inflamation, vascular malformations and occlusions. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are the gold standard for diagnosis of DDMS. In this publication, we want to emphasize DDMS once more with the rare case of a 55 years old female patient who had a history of epilepsy since age of 4 and has epilepsy and facial asymmetry, hemidystonia, mental retardation, cranial hemiatrophy findings and DDMS diagnosis in advanced age.
