macular retinitis as a first sign of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis the importance of early diagnosis
Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, 2005Co-Authors: Ayse Serdaroglu, Kivilcim Gucuyener, Ismail Dursun, Kursad Aydin, Cetin Okuyaz, M Subasi, B OzkanAbstract:Purpose: Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a subacute inflammatory and neurodegenerative encephalitis related to the measles (rubeola) virus and usually affecting children and young adults. The overwhelming majority of cases follow a progressive downhill course leading to death, although there have been a few case reports of patients who have apparently gone into remission. Ocular changes occur in up to 50% of SSPE cases. Visual complaints, if present, generally antedate the onset of neurological symptoms by a few weeks or months. Here, we report two cases of SSPE presenting with ocular findings and their prognoses. Methods: Case reports. In the first case, a 17-year-old male presenting with macular retinitis, the macular findings were mistaken for a Heredodegenerative Disorder and diagnosis was postponed until neurological findings took place. He died six months after the appearance of his first ophthalmic symptoms despite intravenous immune globulin and isoprinosine therapy. The second case ...
