Abstract

Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) is a chronic focal encephalitis involving single cerebral hemisphere characterized by progressive neurological dysfunction and intractable seizures. The cause is mostly unknown but proposed to be associated with immune-mediated and associated with viral infections. We report a case of RE following exanthematous illness clinically diagnosed as chickenpox.
