Resumo: Introduction: Rasmussen’s encephalitis is a chronic inflammatory encephalitis of unknown etiology. Clinical, imaging and electroencephalographic characteristic findings allow its diagnosis. Serial brain MRI evaluation of these patients has a characteristic pattern of temporal evolution. Regarding a clinical case, the authors make a brief review of this pathology, with particular emphasis on the MRI findings. Case Report: Female child, seven years old, who started a drug-resistent focal epilepsy at the age of four. The video-EEG revealed a left fronto-temporal epileptogenic focus. The serial MRI evaluation showed a left fronto-temporal and insular lesion with variation of its imaging features over time. After thorough investigation, the diagnosis of exclusion was that of Rasmussen’s encephalitis. Conclusion: MRI plays an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of Rasmussen’s encephalitis. Regarding a clinical case, we review this pathology, specially its MRI findings.

Achados clínicos, imagiológicos e electroencefalográficos característicos permitem o seu diagnóstico. Na avaliação seriada destes doentes por ressonância magnétcia (RM) crânio-encefálica está descrito um padrão imagiológico típico de evolução temporal. A propósito de um caso clínico, os autores fazem uma breve revisão desta patologia, enfatizando os achados em RM. Caso Clínico: Criança do sexo feminino, com sete anos de idade, que aos quatro anos inicia uma epilepsia focal refractária à terapêutica, com vídeo-EEG mostrando um foco epileptogénico fronto-temporal esquerdo. A avaliação seriada por RM mostrou lesão frontotemporo-insular esquerda, com flutuação das suas características imagiológicas ao longo do tempo. Após investigação aprofundada, o diagnóstico de exclusão foi o de encefalite de Rasmussen. Conclusão: A RM crânio-encefálica desempenha um importante papel no diagnóstico e seguimento da encefalite de Rasmussen. A propósito de um caso clínico, é revista esta patologia, particularmente os seus achados em RM.Ordem dos Médicos2012-11-02info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/x-pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/276oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/276Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 25 (2012): Supplement 1; 68-72Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 25 (2012): Suplemento 1; 68-721646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/276https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/276/77Mendes Dos Santos, CarolinaMoreno, TeresaSá, GraçaRodrigues, DavidCampos, Jorge Ginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-20T10:55:57Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/276Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:16:24.936480Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
