KHALADKAR, Sanjay M. et al. Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome with crossed cerebellar atrophy. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v21i1.1207.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a rare condition with classical, clinical and radiological changes - mental retardation, hemiparesis, facial asymmetry, seizures and cerebral hemiatrophy with calvarial changes. Contralateral cerebellar atrophy is rare and occurs if insult occurs after 1 month of age. We report a case of a 6-year-old female child presenting with right-sided hemiparesis, convulsions and left cerebral hemiatrophy with an old infarct in left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory, ipsilateral calvarial thickening and right (crossed) cerebellar atrophy.
