Rasmussen encephalitis

Rasmussen encephalitis, also known as chronic focal encephalitis, is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown origin, usually affecting one brain hemisphere. It occurs mainly in children (most cases are seen in six to seven-years-old children). High-dose methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin has been successful in the treatment of this disease.
