Few case studies of atypical presentation of pediatric Rasmussen's encephalitis (PRE) have been reported, but none of them described the emergence of super-refractory status epilepticus. Despite substantial advances in identifying the underlying routes, triggers, and etiology, the prognosis for Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) patients remains uncertain. Epileptic spasms with delayed onset in RE patients are common but not drug-resistant epilepsy. In this article, we aim to describe an atypical presentation of PRE which was complicated by super-refractory status epilepticus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
