ABSTRACT
The parieto-occipital region of the brain is the most frequently and severely affected in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). The basal ganglia, cerebellum and corpus callosum are less commonly involved. We describe apatient with SSPE confirmed by neuropathology based on brain magnetic resonance imaging showing extensive basal ganglia involvement and no significant involvement of other cortical structures. Though rarely described in SSPE, clinicians should be aware of this involvement. SSPE should be kept in mind when changes in basal ganglia signal are seen on brain magnetic resonance imaging with or without involvement of other regions of the human brain to avoid erroneous etiological diagnosis of other pathologies causing rapidly progressive dementia.
RESUMO
A região parietooccipital é mais frequente e gravemente acometida na panencefalite esclerosante subaguda(PEESA). Os gânglios da base, cerebelo e corpo caloso são menos envolvidos. Descrevemos um paciente com PEESA confirmada por neuropatologia com imagens de ressonância magnética (RNM) evidenciando acometimento extenso dosgânglios da base sem envolvimento de outras estruturas corticais. Embora raramente descritas nesta doença, deve-se ficar atento para tal acometimento e PEESA deve ser lembrada quando alterações de sinal nos gânglios da base são vistas naRNM com ou sem acometimento de outras regiões do cérebro a fim de evitar outros diagnósticos etiológicos errôneos de patologias que cursam com demência rapidamente progressiva.
