Zusammenfassung: | Although subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is almost exclusively a childhood disease, it can occur in adults as well. We present an atypical case of adult-onset subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. The disease was characterized by prolonged insidious course followed by accelerated and aggressive phase, atypical EEG findings, and absence of myoclonic jerks. The diagnostic and treatment-related pitfalls are discussed. Key words: Adult onset; MRZ (measles, rubella, varicella-zoster) reaction; Multiple sclerosis; Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis U ovom radu prikazujemo atipicni slucaj subakutnog sklerozirajuceg panencefalitisa u odraslog bolesnika koji se prezentirao nalik multiploj sklerozi. Bolest je bila obiljezena dugotrajnim i podmuklim tijekom s naknadnim razvojem brzo progresivne faze uz atipican EEG nalaz i izostanak mioklonizama. U raspravi se analiziraju teskoce u interpretaciji dijagnostickih testova, kao i nepovoljan utjecaj terapijskih postupaka u postavljanju definitivne dijagnoze. Kljucne rijeci: Odrasle osobe; MRZ (morbili, rubeola, varicela-zoster) reakcija; Multipla skleroza; Subakutni sklerozirajuci panencefalitis |
