- Abstract
The article features the clinical image of rasmussen encephalitis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a four-year old boy presented with progressive imbalance, rightside hemiparesis and spasticity demonstrated volume loss of the left cerebral hemisphere, widening of the sulci and high signal of subcortical white matter. It shows that findings were consistent with chronic encephalitis, especially Rasmussen encephalitis.
