โœฆ Synopsis

Computed tomography of the brain (CT) was carried out at the early stages of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) in three children. The lateral ventricles were very small and the hemispheric sulci and interhemispheric fissures were not visible in all three patients in contrast to severe atrophy found at a later stage in one patient. The early CT abnormalities were revealed at the same time as the titres of measles antibodies in blood and cerebrospinal fluid were elevated, and the characteristic periodic complexes in the electroencephalogram established the diagnosis of SSPE. The CT changes indicating brain swelling reflect the reactive changes of this slow virus infection.

In 16 cases of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), praxis and visual spatial capacities were more impaired early in the disease than were language functions. Together with the electroencephalographic findings, this suggests that the early lesions in SSPE are more pronounced in the parietoocc
