Abstract

We describe an adult man with biopsy-proven Rasmussen's encephalitis and intractable epilepsy, who underwent excellent recovery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with Rasmussen's encephalitis who has become completely symptomless, at least for three years, on enhanced antiepileptic and immunological medication.
