Summary
Rasmussen encephalitis, a rare brain disorder, can affect both hemispheres, not just one. Early diagnosis using neuroimaging is crucial for managing this progressive condition.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pediatric Neurology
- Neuroimmunology
Background:
- Rasmussen encephalitis (RE) is a rare, progressive inflammatory encephalopathy.
- It typically presents with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, cognitive decline, and unihemispheric atrophy.
- Bilateral involvement is exceptionally rare and poorly documented.
