An Atypical Course of Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis: Pseudotumor Cerebri

Year 2010, Volume: 17 Issue: 4, 375 - 378, 01.08.2010

Abstract

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), is a progressive, fatal disease of the central nervous system leading to severe and chronic neurologic damage following measles virus infection. Diagnosis is based on the typical clinical findings and elevated titers of antibodies against measles virus in the cerebrospinal fluid. Unusual clinical pictures are not unusual during the course of SSPE. Pseudotumor cerebri is characterized by raised intracranial pressure findings in the absence of obvious cranial pathology. Here we report two cases, diagnosed as SSPE with pseudotumor cerebri. Key words: Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis; Pseudotumor Cerebri; Papilla Stasis.

Atipik Seyirli Subakut Sklerozan Panensefalit: Psödotümör Serebri

Year 2010, Volume: 17 Issue: 4, 375 - 378, 01.08.2010

Abstract

Subakut sklerozan panensefalit (SSPE), kızamık enfeksiyonunu takip eden, merkezi sinir sisteminde kronik, ağır nörolojik yıkımla seyreden ve ölüme giden ilerleyici seyirli bir hastalıktır. Tanı tipik klinik özellikler ve beyin omurilik sıvısında artmış kızamık antikorlarının gösterilmesi ile konulur. SSPE seyrinde olağandışı klinik tablolar nadir değildir. Psödotümör serebri belirgin beyin patolojisi olmadığı halde artmış intrakraniyal basınç bulguları ile karakterizedir. Bu yazıda psödotümör serebri ile seyreden ve SSPE tanısı konulan iki olgu sunulacaktır. Anahtar kelimeler: Subakut Sklerozan Panensefalit; Psödotümör Serebri; Papil Stazı.
