ABSTRACT

A 28-year-old woman presented with classic signs of measles and subsequently developed bilateral retro-bulbar optic neuritis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Her radiographic and CSF findings were consistent with acute measles encephalitis. However, encephalopathy, such as behavioral changes and alteration in consciousness, was not presented. Improvements in the clinical, radiographic, and electrophysiological studies were observed during the steroid therapy. The overlap of CNS and PNS involvement as neurological complications of measles infection is very rare.
