| description | Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DMMS) is a non-inherited rare condition with a clinical constellation of hemiparesis/hemiplegia, facial asymmetry, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. The radiological features can be including unilateral cerebral atrophy, calvarial thickening, and hyper pneumatization of the paranasal sinuses. The condition can either be congenital or acquired. The presentation usually occurs during childhood or early adolescents, but there have been adult cases reported. Here we report a 48-year-old male who was a known poorly controlled epileptic that contracted SARS-CoV-2 with subsequently developed status epilepticus and, when worked up, was shown to have features of DDMS. This case is unique as the patient had hemiatrophy and epilepsy but managed to lead a normal, physically demanding, and high functioning academic career and presented late in life. Perhaps only due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was this diagnosis picked up. This report contains a case presenting atypical DDMS in status epilepticus and COVID -19 plus other complications. From our knowledge, this is the first case presenting these comorbidities reported to the medical literature. |
