Results A retrospective, descriptive and analytical study of six (6) cases of Rasmussen syndrome, shows that it is an unrecognized disease in Africa.

The etiology is still questionable, probably autoimmune in our study. Conclusion Rasmussen syndrome accounts for 3% in 219 patients hospitalized for epileptic conditions. This study shows a clinical profile dominated by recurrent epileptic seizures refractory to the drugs Phenobarbital, Valproic Acid and Carbamazepine, the only antiepileptics available in the country.
