Efficacy of add‐on Cenobamate treatment in refractory epilepsy due to Rasmussen's encephalitis
Rasmussen's encephalitis is a rare type of epilepsy that gets worse over time and doesn't respond well to most seizure medications. We describe three patients who tried many treatments without much success, but when they added cenobamate to their treatment, it worked better than the other medications. This also let them lower the overall amount of medication they were taking.
