Various diagnostic tools such as measles antibody detection in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum, neuroimaging, and EEG are routinely used for the investigation of SSPE. Among these, EEG is the simplest, non-invasive, and cheapest investigation with easy availability.

2023年5月19日 · Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is characterized by progressive cognitive decline. Symptoms typically present about 8 to 11 years of post-measles infection. Initially, personality or behavior changes are present, in addition to poor school performance and intellectual deterioration.

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. It usually occurs 7–10 years after measles infection. The clinical course is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and behavior changes followed by focal or ...

2024年8月23日 · Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), also known as Dawson disease, is a rare chronic, progressive and fatal encephalitis that affects primarily children and young adults, caused by a persistent infection of immune resistant measles virus.

2005年8月1日 · To evaluate atypical electroencephalographic features in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) and to detect its relation to clinical features.

Recognition of uncommon clinical and EEG findings of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, especially in countries where subacute sclerosing panencephalitis has not been eliminated yet, could be helpful in prevention of misdiagnosis and delay in …

1996年8月1日 · We studied the value of long video-split electroencephalographic monitoring (VSEEG) in detecting myoclonus in early SSPE and evaluated the natural history and outcome-affecting factors. The 32 newly diagnosed patients had VSEEG to detect myoclonus and its correlations with EEG periodic complexes.

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.

From the EEG Section, Neurology Department, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis. • Electroencephalogram studies of 31 patients with proved subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) revealed periodic high-amplitude complexes in all except one.

2025年1月26日 · Case Discussion This case presents classic imaging findings of Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE), a rare but severe neurological complication of measles infection. Several key points make this case particularly noteworthy: rapid progression: the unusually short interval between measles infection and symptom onset (6 months) is …
