Currently, the pathogenesis of Rasmussen’s encephalitis is still enigmatic and hemispherectomy is the only effective method to control the seizures associated with Rasmussen’s encephalitis. Recently data ind...

A 39-year-old man with advanced adultonset Rasmussen’s encephalitis was treated with prednisolone and long-term, high-dose, human intravenous immunoglobulin. A pretreatment, semiquantitative interictal brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan using Tc HMPAO (hexamethylene propylene amine oxime) showed hypoperfusion in the clinically aVected right frontal, parietal...
متن کاملAdult onset Rasmussen’s encephalitis associated with reflex language induced seizures responsive to Rituximab therapy
Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) is a rare, focal and progressive inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology, resulting in unilateral hemispheric atrophy, contralateral hemiparesis and hemianopia, dysphasia with language-dominant hemispheric involvement and intractable epilepsy. RE is associated with polymorphic seizure types including epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) [1]. Current treatment stra...
متن کاملRasmussen’s Encephalitis: An Overview
Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) resulting from localized encephalitis was first described by Kozhevnikov and Brun in 1895 in patients suffering from Russian spring-summer encephalitis. (Bien et al., 2005b) In 1958, Rasmussen described a syndrome of focal seizures due to chronic localized encephalitis in three cases. The heterogeneity of this syndrome was demonstrated by Oguni in a descriptio...
متن کاملClinical commentary with video sequences Lingual epilepsia partialis continua in a girl
Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is characterized by focal seizures that cannot be stopped. The most common cause of EPC in children is Rasmussen’s encephalitis. In this video case report, we describe an 11-year old female with continuous lingual EPC for two years. She has shown no signs of Rasmussen’s Encephalitis or other neurodegenerative process and structural MRI is normal. [Published wi...
