摘　　要：To the Editor： Rasmussen＇s encephalitis （RE） is a rare but devastating unihemispheric brain disorder, usually affecting children and characterized by intractable seizures and progressive neurological deficits Characteristic magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） finding of RE is progressive unihemispheric focal cortical atrophy. Bilateral RE is very uncommon. Here, we report an RE patient with faciobrachial dystonic attacks and bilateral brain atrophy but without seizures.To the Editor： Rasmussen＇s encephalitis （RE） is a rare but devastating unihemispheric brain disorder, usually affecting children and characterized by intractable seizures and progressive neurological deficits Characteristic magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） finding of RE is progressive unihemispheric focal cortical atrophy.
