Related Content Related Content Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (Disease) Central nervous system Definition SSPE is a progressive, debilitating, and fatal brain disorder caused by infection with a mutant measles rubeola ) virus (a measles virus that has undergone certain genetic changes or mutations). Alternative Names SSPE; Subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis; Dawson´s encephalitis Causes And Risk Fewer than 10 cases per year are reported in the United States, decreasing the frequency of this disease dramatically, following the nationwide measles immunization program. However, in some countries like India, over 20 cases of SSPE per million people are annually reported. SSPE tends to occur several years after having measles ( rubeola ), even though recovery from the illness appears to have been normal. More males are affected than females, and the disease generally occurs in children and adolescents. Affected individuals frequently die one to two years after being diagnosed with this condition, but some may survive for longer periods. SSPE is due to the direct invasion of brain cells by the mutant measles virus, which provokes brain inflammation (swelling and irritation with presence of extra immune cells) that can last for years.

Children 5 to 12 years old who showed the exanthematic manifestations of the disease before the age of three years, are the most commonly affected groups. Due to immunization programs the incidence of measles infection is decreasing and consequently that of SSPE, which is currently estimated at around 1/1,000,000 per year. The clinical onset usually consists of mental or behavioural abnormalities. The disease then progresses to myoclonic jerks, tremors and seizures and eventually to final complete loss of cortical function. The diagnosis is confirmed by high titres of measles virus antibodies in the CSF and in the serum. Described pathological changes include demyelination, gliosis and neuronal loss with only mild inflammation.

Patient #55 Summary and Discussion Kathleen Eberle, M.D. Diagnosis: Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) CLINICAL SUMMARY Discussion Clinical Course and Diagnostic Evaluations Singer et al. (1997) report that adult-onset patients are more likely than children to present with purely ophthalmologic complaints rather than the classical personality changes as their first symptom of disease. A wide variety of visual disorders have been associated with SSPE, including papilledema, retinitis, chorioretinitis, optic nerve pallor, homonymous visual field deficits, and cortical blindness. For this reason, and because of the presence of oligoclonal banding on CSF electrophoretic studies, a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis may sometimes be considered in the early stages of SSPE. The pathognomonic EEG findings in SSPE are periodic complexes with generalized bilateral, usually synchronous and symmetrical slow waves of high amplitude, classically occurring every 5-10 seconds (Dogulu et al. 1995, Gokcil et al. 1998). These periodic complexes are usually associated with clinically evident myoclonic or dystonic activity (Singer et al. 1997). Early in the course of SSPE, the EEG may show normal background activity, even in the presence of the periodic complexes. However, as the disease progresses, the background activity eventually becomes progressively slower, with the emergence of bifrontal slow activity. Magnetic resonance imaging may be relatively normal, or may show early changes of increased signal on T2-weighted sequences, frequently involving the periventricular or subcortical white matter. Later in the disease, MRI may show diffuse cerebral atrophy. Other findings, less commonly encountered, may include pial and parenchymal contrast enhancement, local mass effect of parenchymal lesions, and involvement of the splenium of the corpus callosum. Discrete basal ganglia and brainstem lesions have also been reported. The extent of MRI findings does not correlate well with the clinical neurologic status of the patients (Anlar et al. 1996, Brismar et al. 1996).

Research Articles Treatment of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis: an overview WJ Taylor, RH DuRant, and PR Dyken Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare central nervous system degenerative disease that occurs primarily in children and adolescents. It is believed to be caused by a measles-like virus. Initial symptoms usually present as a variety of personality changes followed by myoclonus with progression of mental and motor deterioration, which leads to death within a few months to years. New experimental treatment with inosiplex has been shown to be helpful for patients stricken with this progressive neurological disease. A response to inosiplex therapy is best in patients with a slowly progressing form of the disease. Inosiplex treatment is safe with few adverse effects. The duration of treatment appears to be lifelong since many patients relapse when inosiplex therapy is discontinued. This article reviews the etiology, pathogenesis, and experimental treatment of SSPE. HOME HELP CONTACT US SUBSCRIPTIONS ... CURRENT ISSUE

The detection of IgD measles antibodies in these patients suggested that IgD may be involved in the pathogenesis of this viral disease.
