Abstract
Background: There is a lack of data on the prevalence of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS), a rare neurological condition that has only been documented in case reports and series. The majority of those affected are children. Because of its rarity, many clinicians may misdiagnose or underreport this condition. DDMS was discovered on imaging in a patient who was initially misdiagnosed as having a young stroke of unknown aetiology.
