  • Title: Visual deterioration as presentation of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.
    Author: Johnston HM, Wise GA, Henry JG.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1980 Nov; 55(11):899-901. PubMed ID: 7436466.
    Abstract:
    A 7-year-old boy presented with deteriorating vision and macular degenerative changes. A month later he had developed unusual behaviour and increasing forgetfulness. An electroencephalogram showing periodic complexes, and high measles complement-fixation titres in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood, confirmed the diagnosis of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Four months after the onset of visual symptoms he started having myoclonic jerks.
