About Rasmussen Syndrome

Rasmussen syndrome is a rare, chronic neurological disorder primarily affecting children, characterized by progressive inflammation of one hemisphere of the brain. It is not a single procedure but a diagnosis and management pathway led by a neurologist. The condition causes frequent and severe seizures (epilepsia partialis continua), cognitive decline, and progressive weakness on one side of the body. Diagnosis involves a combination of clinical evaluation, electroencephalogram (EEG), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify characteristic unilateral brain atrophy. Treatment is complex and multidisciplinary, focusing on controlling seizures with anti-epileptic drugs, immunotherapy to reduce inflammation, and in severe, drug-resistant cases, surgical intervention such as functional hemispherectomy to disconnect the affected hemisphere.

Key Highlights

Provides a definitive diagnosis for a complex and rare neurological condition.Enables a structured, multi-modal treatment plan to manage seizures and inflammation.Can lead to significant seizure reduction, especially when surgical options like hemispherectomy are considered for drug-resistant cases.Involves a specialized team approach led by a neurologist for comprehensive care.

Who is this surgery for?

Frequent, focal motor seizures (epilepsia partialis continua) that are difficult to control with medication.
Progressive neurological deficits, such as weakness (hemiparesis) or cognitive decline, localized to one side of the body.
MRI findings showing progressive atrophy or inflammation confined to one cerebral hemisphere.
EEG results indicating persistent, unilateral brain hemisphere dysfunction.
Onset typically in childhood, though adult-onset cases are rarely reported.

How to prepare

Comprehensive neurological examination and detailed history of seizure frequency and type.
Long-term video-EEG monitoring to capture and localize seizure activity.
High-resolution MRI of the brain to assess for unilateral atrophy or inflammation.
Neuropsychological testing to evaluate cognitive function and baseline abilities.
Discussion with a multidisciplinary team, including epileptologists and neurosurgeons, to plan the treatment pathway.

Risks & possible complications

Progression of the disease leading to permanent neurological deficits like hemiplegia, vision loss, or speech impairment.
Cognitive and developmental regression despite treatment.
Side effects from long-term use of anti-epileptic drugs or immunosuppressive therapies.
Risks associated with surgical interventions (if required), including infection, bleeding, or further neurological impairment.
Psychological and social impact on the patient and family due to the chronic nature of the condition.

Recovery & hospital stay

Recovery is a long-term process focused on managing the chronic condition, not a post-procedure event.
Involves careful titration of medications to control seizures while minimizing side effects.
Regular follow-up with the neurologist for clinical assessments and repeat EEG/MRI scans.
Intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy to maximize function and adapt to any neurological deficits.
For patients undergoing hemispherectomy surgery, recovery involves a specialized inpatient rehabilitation program lasting several weeks to months.

Typical hospital stay: Varies widely (0 for diagnosis; 2-4 weeks for surgical management)
Expected recovery time: Ongoing chronic management; surgical recovery 3-6 months
