Abstract

We report a 27 years old man who was admitted to our hospital with progressive dementia that had begun two years ago. In his past medical history, his family reported a transient period of frequent falling and drop attacks of the head without any change of conscious, started when he was at age 18 and continued over three years; then he had a symptom-free period between the ages of 21-25 years. He had neither myoclonus nor periodic sharp and slow-wave discharges on electroencephalography (EEG) during the second phase of the disease that we saw him at age 27. Cerebrospinal fl uid investigation disclosed high anti-measles IgG antibodies titer (1/640) and the patient was diagnosed with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). To our knowledge, this is the first case who had biphasic course without typical EEG findings of SSPE in the later phase of the disease.

Özet

Biz 2 yıl önce başlayan ilerleyici demans tablosu ile hastanemize başvuran 27 yaşındaki bir erkek hastayı sunuyoruz. Hastanın ailesi, hastada 18 yaşında başlayıp 3 yıl devam eden, bilinç değişikliği olmaksızın yere düşme ve başta ani düşmeler şeklinde sık ataklar olduğunu, bu dönemi takiben 21-25 yaşları arasında hastanın tamamen normale döndüğünü bildirdi. Hastayı hastalığının ikinci fazında 27 yaşında iken gördüğümüzde, ne myoklonus ne de elektroensefalografisinde (EEG) periyodik keskin ve yavaş dalga deşarjları vardı. Hastanın beyin omurilik sıvısı incelemesinde yüksek titrede anti-kızamık antikorları (1/640) varlığı saptandı ve hastaya subakut sklerozan panensefalit tanısı konuldu (SSPE). Bizim bildiğimiz kadarı ile bu, bifazik seyreden, hastalığın daha ileri evresinde SSPE’nin tipik EEG bulguları olmayan ilk vaka bildirimidir.
