1 Tractography of Cortico-Ponto-Cerebellar Pathways
A 34 years old man with prolonged epilepsia partialis continua Teaching NeuroImages Neurology Resident and Fellow Section © 2015 American Academy of Neurology

2 Vignette 12 years old: occipital focal seizures and headache complicated by left homonymous hemianopsia 18 years old: left lower limb myoclonic jerks 20 years old: epilepsia partialis continua and focal motor seizures involving the left lower limb 25 years old: progressive left hemiparesis 28 years old: epilepsia partialis continua and focal motor seizures involving the left hemiface and upper limb 34 years old: left ataxic hemiparesis.

Coronal T1-weighted images performed in 2007 (A) and 2011(B) show progressive right cerebral and left cerebellar atrophy consistent with crossed cerebellar diaschisis. Right CPC axonal loss was demonstrated by specific DTI software for tractography in 2011 (D) as compared to 2007 (C). Michelucci, et al. © 2015 American Academy of Neurology

5 Diffusion Tensor Tractography of Cortico-Ponto-Cerebellar Pathways in Rasmussen Encephalitis
Tractography of cortico-ponto-cerebellar (CPC) pathways demonstrated marked involvement of the right tract We suggest that a dying back mechanism of efferent CPC fibers may cause crossed cerebellar atrophy We infer that crossed cerebellar atrophy is a distinctive feature of long-term Rasmussen encephalitis evolution.
