subacute sclerosing panencephalitis/edema

This paper describes the fundus changes in 2 patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). In both cases the ocular involvement preceded the neurological symptoms by several months. In one patient a localized serous detachment in the macular region was associated with retinal infiltrates

Over a period of time, the authors have studied a case of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), by means of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs). The observed abnormalities of the conduction time along the early auditory pathways appeared to be related to the clinical picture; in fact,

OBJECTIVE To report a case of acute multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (AMPPE)-like lesion as an early presentation of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). METHODS Observational case report. METHODS A 21-year-old woman presented with a profound loss of vision in the left eye. The

In the original description by van Bogaert and De Busscher of subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis (SSLE), great emphasis was placed upon the involvement of the white matter, a feature that, in addition to the absence of inclusion bodies, differentiated it from subacute inclusion body encephalitis

Tauopathies are sporadic or familial neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the accumulation of phosphorylated tau in neurons and glial cells and include encephalitis related to measles virus such as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. We describe a 45-year-old woman, with a history of

Computerized tomographic (CT) study of the brain was performed in 15 cases of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). Most patients in Stage II (6/8) had cerebral edema and diffuse white matter low attenuation, and patients in Stages III and IV (5/7) had atrophy of cerebral cortex, brainstem and

A 17-year-old white woman had an acute left maculopathy of unknown etiology. She was in excellent health and had only had rubeola at 3 years of age. Hruby lens examination of the left eye, visual acuity of 6/60 (20/200), revealed a normal vitreous, macular edema, intraretinal hemorrhage, and

OBJECTIVE There are only a few studies correlating diverse radiological and EEG features of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). The objective of the study was to (a) describe EEG profile and (b) correlate it with the clinical and imaging data of patients with confirmed SSPE. METHODS This
