Abstract	INTRODUCTION: Rasmussen Encephalitis (RE) is a chronic focal and progressive disease in childhood associated to mental impairment and hemiparesis. Hemispherectomy has played a major role in seizure treatment since 1950, however, the pathophysiology with immune-mediated basis, has allowed to try different treatment options including intravenous immunoglobulin, steroids and immunosuppressive agents. CASE REPORTS: We describe two patients with history of continuous partial epilepsy and hemiparesia with seizures refractory to multiple antiepileptic drugs. The brain magnetic resonance image showed hemiatrophy in both cases. We compare the clinical and imaging features as reported so far in literature. CONCLUSION: Our cases illustrate that the ER is a chronic progressive disease with poor prognosis. Nowadays the treatment is aggressive, which may involve significant sequelae with limited clinical efficacy.
