Central nervous system Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a progressive, debilitating, and fatal brain disorder caused by infection with a mutant measles (rubeola) virus. A mutant virus is one that has undergone genetic changes (mutations). SSPE; Subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis; Dawson´s encephalitis Ordinarily, the measles virus does not cause brain damage, but certain mutant forms may invade the brain, causing severe illness and death. SSPE has been reported in all parts of the world, but in western countries it is considered a rare disease. Fewer than 10 cases per year are reported in the United States, a dramatic decrease, following the nationwide measles immunization program. However, in some countries like India, over 20 cases of SSPE per million people are reported each year.

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.

    Extractions: Support Groups This leaflet explains about Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) which is a rare disease of the brain which results in progressive loss of physical and mental skills. SSPE is caused by an unusual response to the measles virus, which lingers in the brain and then reactivates, often many years after the original infection. The presence of the virus within the brain cells prevents them working properly and passing messages to each other. The brain is the control centre of the whole body so blockages in the messages to other parts of the body will prevent those parts working efficiently even though the parts themselves are quite healthy. How is it diagnosed?

    Extractions: RESULTS: A 31 year-old male presented with a one month history of right arm and hand weakness. His past medical history was significant for mild developmental delay, and for bilateral uveitis which stabilized with steroid treatment at the time of diagnosis (1990). Imaging studies showed multiple non-enhancing subcortical lesions, and electroencephalograms showed patterns suggestive of SSPE. MV CF IgG titers were 1:128 (serum), and 1:8 (CSF). Biopsy revealed numerous Cowdry type A inclusions in neurons within the cerebral cortex and in oligodendrocytes of the white matter. Unusually prominent white matter vacuolation was also observed. EM revealed an abundance of intracellular MV nucleocapsid structures. Diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and by RT-PCR of MV RNA. Preliminary sequence analysis of H and N genes indicates that this is a wild-type MV, belonging to clade D. Further characterization of this virus will be reported.

    Extractions: Close Window Zaitoon M. Shivji, Ibrahim S. Al-Zahrani, Yousef A. Al-Said, Mohammed M.S. Jan Abstract: Background: Case Report: A 12-year-old boy, who was seen at a later stage with atypical manifestation of myoclonic body jerks confined entirely unilaterally, combined with contralateral periodic EEG complexes. One could assume clinically that the more diseased hemisphere was responsible for generating the jerks. However, brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed asymmetric hemispheric changes suggesting that the less neurologically damaged hemisphere is responsible for generating the unilateral myoclonic jerks. This has led to the interpretation that the more severely damaged hemisphere has lost the neuronal connectivity required to generate these periodic myoclonic jerks. Conclusions: Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis may have asymmetric hemispheric involvement, not only early, but also in the advanced stages of the disease, which can result in unilateral periodic myoclonic jerks.

    Extractions: A rare, slowly progressive encephalitis caused by chronic infection with the MEASLES VIRUS. The condition occurs primarily in children and young adults, approximately 2-8 years after the initial infection. A gradual decline in intellectual abilities and behavioral alterations are followed by progressive MYOCLONUS; MUSCLE SPASTICITY; SEIZURES; DEMENTIA; autonomic dysfunction; and ATAXIA. DEATH usually occurs 1-3 years after disease onset. Pathologic features include perivascular cuffing, eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions, neurophagia, and fibrous gliosis. It is caused by the SSPE virus, which is a defective variant of MEASLES VIRUS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp767-8) Synonyms and Source Vocabularies:

    Extractions: The incidence of SSPE has decreased over years since the introduction of live attenuated measles vaccine. Infact, in USA after 1982, less than 5 new cases have been registered from the entire country. Children with SSPE are more likely to have been infected with natural measles than vaccine virus. The risk of SSPE after measles is 4.0 in 1,00,000 cases as compared to a risk after measles vaccine of 0.14 in 1,00,000 cases. When measles is contracted in children younger than 1 year of age, the risk for SSPE is 16 times greater than when measles is contracted in children older than 5 years of age. The median interval between measles and onset of SSPE is 8 years.
