Abstract
We reported five cases of Dyke–Davidoff–Masson syndrome (DDMS) with different clinical
and radiological findings. The evaluated parameters were the location of the lesions,
midline structural shift effect, pathological and morphological changes on the ipsilateral
calvarium, paranasal sinuses and mesencephalon, presence of compensatory contralateral
hypertrophy. With the help of both magnetic resonance (MR) and computerized tomography
(CT) images, changing degrees of all the evaluated parameters were observed in all
five of our patients. In conclusion, no relationship was found between parenchymal
and calvarial changes and between the time after onset of the disease and amount of
the morphologic and pathological changes.
