Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a disorder involving hemiatrophy or hypoplasia 
of 1 cerebral hemisphere secondary to an insult in the developing brain. Often 
this will manifest with seizures, hemiparesis, mental retardation, and facial 
changes. Associated with this pathology are the radiologically evident changes, 
such as thickening of the calvarium, hyperpneumatization of the sinuses, and 
dilation of the ipsilateral lateral ventricle among others. The following is a 
case presentation of an 18-year-old female emigrating from Ghana who presented 
to the emergency department with complaints of seizures diagnosed as being 
caused by cerebral malaria at 13 years of age. We hypothesize that the cerebral 
malaria and related vascular occlusion are the causes of her acquired cerebral 
changes. Included are computed tomography images.
