Abstract
- Rasmussen encephalitis (RE) is a rare, severe, and progressive disorder characterized by focal motor seizures, epilepsia partialis continua, hemiparesis, and intellectual decline. Although clinical features of RE are heterogenous, the progression of the disease is generally divided into three stages which are prodromal, acute, residual stages. We report a 29-year-old woman who had shown typical progression of the disease but preserved cognitive function during a longterm follow-up.
