Abstract:
Chronic localized encephalitis (Rasmussen's syndrome) developed in an 11-year-old girl 1 month after operation for residual cataract due to chronic uveitis that had appeared at age 9 years ipsilateral to the affected cerebral hemisphere. Although the pathogenesis of Rasmussen's syndrome remains unknown, our case provides additional evidence indicating that a viral ocular infection is a possible cause or part of the disorder.
