title: [Sudden death in cerebral hemiatrophy].
abstract: Hemiatrophia cerebri is a rare disease, and the etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear in most cases. In the present case, the marked hemiatrophy of the brain in a 19-year-old patient who died suddenly is attributed to encephalitis during early childhood and subsequent prolonged seizures.
