Zusammenfassung:	We describe clinical case of Rasmussen's encephalitis in a 24-year-old woman that occurred during her hospital stay. Its clinical manifestations included a clonic movement disorder and partial epilepsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging study showed shrinkage of her left hemisphere with signs of inflammation and scarring. An electroencephalography showed the electrophysiological characteristics of epilepsy and slowing down of the left hemisphere activity. Brain biopsy was not provided.
