A 52-year-old woman was referred for a progressive neurological condition which started a year before with continuous irregular twitching of the right facial and arm muscles as well as the tongue and palate, followed by progressive dysphagia, right hemiparesis, ataxia, dysphasia and dysarthria. Though magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at clinical presentation and a year after were both normal (Figure A1), Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) was strongly suspected and treatment with corticosteroids and immunoglobulins were begun. A third MRI, two years after onset, revealed mild T2 hyperintense subcortical white matter changes over the left perisylvian region (Figure A) which confirmed our initial suspicion of RE as she now met clinical, electrophysiological and morphological criterias for RE. While waiting for a cerebral biopsy after unsatisfactory response from antiepileptic drugs, corticosteroids and immunoglobulins, her condition markedly worsened less than three years after onset with the sudden occurrence of status epilepticus requiring intubation and continuous infusions of midazolam and propofol.
