Evaluation of the contralateral hemisphere with DWI in pediatric patients with Dyke –Davidoff–Masson syndrome

ConclusionThe difference in the ADC values of the contralateral hemisphere between females and males in the patient group suggests that the normal-appearing hemisphere may have been affected by DDMS. Although, the exact mechanism of this effect is not known. Therefore, in patients with DDMS, contralateral hemisphere involvement in cerebral hemiatrophy and hemispherectomy should be evaluated clinically and radiologically.
