A systematic approach, linking both clinical and neuroimaging features, is important to facilitate the diagnostic workup of cerebral hemiatrophy. This may potentially help avoid large-scale investigations. Determining the underlying aetiology of cerebral hemiatrophy may impact treatment and prognostication as some conditions such as Rasmussen encephalitis and Parry-Romberg syndrome may benefit from timely implementation of immunomodulatory therapy.
