Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis, immunological findings in saliva and salivary glands

Proton MR spectroscopy in the diagnosis of early-stage subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a progressive, fatal neurological disorder of childhood and early adolescence. In this report, we present brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and conventional magnetic resonance MR imaging findings of early-stage (stage II) SSPE in an 8-year-old child. MRS demonstrated increased myo-inositol/creatine and choline/creatine ratios, and a decrea...

Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis in Iran. Clinical and immunoligical characlerisation

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis findings at MR imaging, diffusion MR imaging, and proton MR spectroscopy.

A case of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis in a 2-year-old boy is reported. In addition to asymmetric lesions in the parietotemporal lobes, right thalamus, and globus pallidus, symmetric patterns were notable in the brain stem, middle cerebellar pedincles, and dentate nuclei. Proton MR spectroscopy revealed markedly decreased N-acetylaspartate peaks and normal choline and myo-inositol levels...
