Popis: A 4-year-old boy developed Rasmussen's syndrome and was treated with alpha interferon intraventricularly. An improvement in the epileptic and neurologic syndrome was noted for several weeks following interferon. No adverse side effects were encountered. Since hemispherectomy is the only established therapy in Rasmussen's Syndrome, further studies are needed to establish if intraventricular alpha interferon may halt the clinical progression of the syndrome.
