Hemiatrophy of the brain: a report of two cases
Abstract
Hemiatrophy of the brain is the radiological finding, in the patients with seizure and/or mental retardation and hemiparesis, usually due to insult to developing brain in fetal and early childhood. Other imaging feature is the compensatory osseous hyperplasia. This condition, also known as Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome is a rare entity and we report two such casesReferences
