Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) is a fatal disorder marked by gradual cognitive and motor deterioration, leading to death typically within 1-3 years.
A 20-year-old woman with progressive abnormal behaviour, forgetfulness, and involuntary movements showed significant improvement after treatment with interferon and isoprinosine. Initially severely cognitively impaired and dependent, she regained independence and demonstrated marked cognitive enhancement, her MMSE improved from 15 to 28 and reduced myoclonus. Her progress was sustained over three years, substantially enhancing her quality of life.
This SSPE case shows significant improvement in disability. Early identification of such cases is crucial for improved prognostic counselling for families.
