Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome Demonstrated by Current MR images A Case Report

SUMMARY – Current magnetic resonance imaging techniques demonstrated MR findings of Dyke–Davidoff–Masson syndrome in a 44-year-old man. Statistical parametric mapping analysis of the T1-weighted images showed focal atrophy in the basal ganglia. Three-dimensional white matter fib-ers of corticospinal tracts, corpus callosum and cingulate bundle were demonstrated using diffusion tensor data correlated to the patient’s clinical conditions.
