Isolated bilateral basal ganglionic hyper intensities in early stage of Subacutesclerosing Panencephalitis: A case report

摘要

Diagnosis of subacutesclerosingpanencephalitis (SSPE) is based on past history of measles, typical clinical symptoms and signs, characteristic electroencephalographic (EEG) findings, and elevated serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) anti-measles antibody titers.[1] Neuro-imaging findings can aid in the diagnosis in some situations. Classical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in SSPE are white matter changes more posterior in location and cortical atrophy which lags behind the white matter changes. Basal ganglionic hyper intensities were described late in the disease course.? We report a case of SSPE in Gascon Stage 2A,[1] having isolated basalganglionic hyper intensities without cortical and subcortical changes at an early stage of disease which was not reported so often.
