Abstract:
Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is a relatively rare chronic inflammatory neurological disease that usually only affects one hemisphere of the brain. It primarily affects children under the age of 10, although it can also affect teens and adults, causing drug-resistant seizures, progressive hemiparesis, and dementia. RE presents as a challenging diagnosis with MRI as the cornerstone of the evaluation and nuclear imaging as a complementary tool. We'd like to present a case of a 12-year-old girl who was diagnosed with RE after an MRI. In this study, we examine the diagnostic criteria, differential diagnoses, and issues that underpin the diagnostic challenge in great detail.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
