Abstract
We report the serial MR and PET/SPECT findings in a 2 1/2-year-old boy presenting with Rasmussen syndrome and highlight the close qualitative correlations between the results of the imaging modality and the functional isotopic techniques. The latter demonstrated a wider field of extension of the disease process. Routine MRI demonstrated its ability to detect brain changes matching the more sensitive PET and SPECT data and correlated well with the clinical evolution.
