ABSTRACT
Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is a rare progressive inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. It is characterized by unilateral hemispheric atrophy, pharmacoresistant focal seizures, and progressive neurological deficit. The exact etiopathogenesis still remains unknown.

Herein, we report an additional pediatric case of Rasmussen encephalitis with fluctuating changes in brain MRI.
