Resumen (Español)
Introducción: La encefalitis de Rasmussen es una entidad severa y poco frecuente, que predomina en la infancia. Su etiología es desconocida. Se caracteriza por ser una enfermedad progresiva, y por afectar un hemisferio, en forma de epilepsia parcial continua farmacorresistente, y atrofia hemisférica unilateral. A largo plazo deja secuelas neurológicas, lo que conlleva a una discapacidad desde una edad temprana.
Materiales y Métodos: Es un artículo de caso, sobre la evolución de un paciente con Encefalitis de Rasmussen.
Resultados: Se reporta un paciente de 9 años con una evolución atípica de la enfermedad, quien ha estado libre de crisis en más de 2 años y en monoterapia con bajas dosis de medicación.
Conclusiones: El reconocimiento y manejo temprano de esta patología incide en pronostico y complicaciones de un paciente con encefalitis de Rasmussen.
Palabras clave: Estatus epilepticus; Encefalitis de Rasmussen; Epilepsia parcial continua
Abstract (English)
Introduction: Rasmussen encephalitis is a severe and rare entity that predominates in childhood. Its etiology is unknown. It is characterized by being a progressive disease, and by affecting one hemisphere, in the form of drug-resistant continuous partial epilepsy, and unilateral hemispheric atrophy. In the long term, it leaves neurological consequences, which leads to disability from an early age.
Materials and Methods: It is a case report, on the evolution of a patient with Rasmussen Encephalitis.
Results: A 9-year-old patient is reported with an atypical evolution of the disease, who has been seizure-free for more than 2 years and on monotherapy with low doses of medication.
Conclusions: Early recognition and management of this pathology affects the prognosis and complications of a patient with Rasmussen encephalitis.
Keywords: Status epilepticus; Rasmussen encephalitis; Epilepsy partialis continua
