title: [Retinal changes in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis].
abstract: In a 12-year-old boy with histologically confirmed subacute sclerosing panencephalitis changes resembling chorioretinitis were found in the peripheral part of the left retina. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated signs of atrophy of pigmented epithelium. On the basis of pertinent literature the authors suggest that in this disease retinal involvement may precede neurological manifestations. It would be interesting to try whether therapy applied in this early stage would be effective.
