Chronic localized encephalitis (Rasmussen's syndrome) developed in an 11-year-old girl 1 month after operation for residual cataract due to chronic uveitis that had appeared at age 9 years ipsilateral to the affected cerebral hemisphere. Although the pathogenesis of Rasmussen's syndrome remains unknown, our case provides additional evidence indicating that a viral ocular infection is a possible cause or part of the disorder.

D004828 Epilepsies, Partial Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely.
