Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS), or cerebral hemiatrophy, was first described in 1933. It is characterised by cerebral injury that causes hypoplasia in one of the cerebral hemispheres. The disease has different clinical degrees and two aetiologies: congenital and acquired. Radiological findings depend on the degree of injury and the patient's age at the time. OBJECTIVE To provide information on the main clinical and radiological characteristics of this disease. METHODS A systematic review of the PubMed, MEDLINE, and LILACS databases was conducted using only one keyword. Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome. A total of 223 studies were identified, and the results are presented in tables and graphics. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 19.44 (0-83 years), and the majority were male (55.32%). The most common types of epileptic seizures were generalised tonic-clonic seizures (31 cases), focal impaired awareness seizures (20 cases), focal motor seizures (13 cases), focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (nine cases), and focal myoclonic seizures (one case). The main features of the disease were rapid deep tendon reflexes and extensor cutaneous-plantar tendon reflexes (30 cases - 16%), contralateral hemiparesis or hemiplegia (132 cases - 70%), gait alterations (16 cases - 9%), facial paralysis (nine cases - 5%), facial asymmetry (58 cases - 31%), limb asymmetry (20 cases - 11%), delayed developmental milestones (39 cases - 21%), intellectual disability (87 cases - 46%), and language/speech disorders (29 cases - 15%). Left hemisphere atrophy was the most prevalent. CONCLUSION DDMS is a rare syndrome, and several questions regarding this disease remain unanswered. This systematic review aims to elucidate the most common clinical and radiological aspects of the disease and emphasises the need for further investigation.

Abstract
Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare disease affecting the brain with almost 100 cases previously reported, with only 21 cases among adults. Due to the intricacy of clinical manifestations and radiological findings, it is difficult to reach the diagnosis. It usually includes atrophy of the cerebral hemisphere, dilation of the lateral ventricle, hypertrophy of skull bones, and hyperpneumatization of air sinuses. Herein, we present a case of a 55-year-old female patient who presented with a new-onset seizure. This case emphasizes the importance of considering DDMS in the differential diagnosis of adult-onset seizures, especially in patients with a previous history of brain insult, and demonstrates the possibility of developing this condition despite the lack of childhood symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Jordan.

Abstract
Background DDMS is a rare disease diagnosed by clinical and radiological characteristics. But the complexity of radiological and clinical manifestations of DDMS has become a challenge diagnostically. To date, the reported cases with DDMS had highly varied clinical manifestations including seizures, contralateral hemiplegia/hemiparesis, facial asymmetry, mental retardation, etc. In addition to typical clinical findings, some new characteristics have been recently added to the spectrum of DDMS. However, few cases have been reported to be associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms according to the literature. This study aimed to investigate the neuropsychiatric manifestations associated with Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) and related imaging findings. Methods This study included 7 patients diagnosed with DDMS between 2014 and 2020. The clinical characteristics, neuropsychiatric manifestations, and radiological results were retrospectively evaluated. Results Seven patients (five males and two females) with a mean age of 28.0 ± 9.73 (range 15.0–41.0) years were included. Five patients were admitted to the psychiatric unit due to psychological and behavioral disorders. Two patients were referred to the neurology unit mainly due to epilepsy. Six patients had epileptic seizures, 4 had hemiplegia, 3 had mental retardation, 2 patients had external ear deformities, and 2 had facial asymmetry. Neuropsychiatric symptoms were presented in 6 (85.7 %) cases. Cases 2–6 developed affective disorders. Deficits in verbal communication, impairment of social interaction, lack of insight, adulia and hypobulia appeared in cases 1–4. Schizophrenia with apathy, and epileptic schizoid psychosis were observed in cases 4 and 5 respectively. Case 6 had behavioral disorders, hyperactivity, tic disorder, mental retardation, anxiety, catatonic symptoms and suicidal tendency. Case 7 had seizures and mental retardation, and no psychiatric symptoms were presented. Radiological examinations showed unilateral cerebral atrophy, enlarged lateral ventricles, and various compensatory hypertrophy of the skull in all cases. The midline structure has shifted to the affected side in 5(71.4 %) cases. Atrophy of the basal ganglia or brain stem was observed in 4(57.1 %) cases. Conclusions The hallmark imaging manifestations of DDMS facilitated the diagnosis in most cases. This study illustrated that a variety of psychoneurotic disorders and ear abnormalities were correlated with DDMS.
