An interesting case of hemiparesis with resistant epilepsy- Dyke, Davidoff, and Masson syndrome
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Neurosciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
For DDMS cases presenting in early childhood, refractory seizures remain the usual concern. Accordingly, hemispherectomy is the treatment of choice with a variable success rate. However, if the presentation is late as in our case and if seizures are under reasonably control, the patient can be reserved on antiepileptic medications instead of surgery, along with supportive therapy including physiotherapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. Further longitudinal studies are required to ascertain the natural course of this syndrome especially in an adult population, which would help in planning strategies regarding the time and nature of interventions and management accordingly.
