Rasmussen’s epileptogenic encephalitis in a tropical country

Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences, 2018
Background: Encephalitis of Rasmussen is an inflammatory hemiencephalopathy of unknown etiology. It is a cause of drug-resistant epilepsy. Aim: To report two cases of Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) in a low-income setting.

The causal relationship between systemic lupus erythematosus and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: A Mendelian randomization study and mediation analysis

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 98-105, Spring 2025.
Mendelian randomization (MR) studies were conducted using the inverse‐variance weighted (IVW) method, MR‐Egger and weighted median on juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) data from the Integrative Epidemiology Unit (IEU) Open genome‐wide association study (GWAS) database and the International League Against Epilepsy

Diffusion MRI in Rasmussen's encephalitis, herpes simplex encephalitis, and bacterial meningoencephalitis

, 2002
Three patients with Rasmussen's encephalitis, herpes simplex type 1 encephalitis, and bacterial meningoencephalitis are included in this study. Echo-planar diffusion MRI was acquired with the trace protocol at 1.5 T. b = 1000 s/mm(2) images, and apparent

The changing landscape in epilepsy imaging: Unmasking subtle and unique entities

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2022
Dramatic changes have occurred recently in the field of epilepsy, including a fundamental shift in the etiology of epileptogenic substrates found at surgery. Hippocampal sclerosis is no longer the most common etiology found at epilepsy surgery and this

Rasmussen's encephalitis and Behcet's disease: autoimmune disorders in first degree relatives

, 2008
We report a patient with adolescent-onset, Rasmussen's encephalitis, presenting with intractable focal seizures, mild hemiparesis, cognitive impairment, dystonia, and severe hemiballism.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase autoantibodies in autoantibody‐negative patients with seizures are associated with reduced pyruvate dehydrogenase activity

Epilepsia, Volume 67, Issue 8, Page 4078-4094, August 2026.
Abstract Objective We investigated the presence and potential functional relevance of antimitochondrial autoantibodies in patients suspicious for autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) associated with psychiatric symptoms and/or seizures, who were negative for known antineuronal autoantibodies.

Serum NfL, GFAP, and p‐tau217 in adults with drug‐resistant epilepsy and intellectual disabilities: Signs of ongoing neural injury

Epilepsia, Volume 67, Issue 7, Page 3494-3507, July 2026.
Abstract Objective Adults with epilepsy and intellectual disabilities (IDs) may be at increased risk of dementia, but clinical evaluation is complex and use of conventional biomarkers is often considered too invasive. We explored abnormality of serum neurofilament light chain (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and phosphorylated tau‐217 (p ...

Glymphatic dysfunction couples with cortical excitation–inhibition imbalance in epilepsy: Evidence from Rasmussen encephalitis

Epilepsia, Volume 67, Issue 7, Page 3563-3576, July 2026.
Cong Fu et al. demonstrate that glymphatic system dysfunction is linked to enhanced inhibitory cortical activity using diffusion MRI and EEG. These findings highlight a mechanistic link between perivascular fluid dynamics and neuronal activity, suggesting a role for glymphatic function in maintaining cortical stability in epilepsy.

Young woman with a four-year history of epilepsy and progressive focal cortical atrophy — What is the diagnosis?

Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2014
The pathogenesis of disease progression in drug-refractory epilepsy is poorly understood. We report the case of a young woman with a four-year history of epilepsy that progressed rapidly as evidenced by the development of progressive focal cortical ...
