title: MR imaging vs CT in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.
abstract: The MR findings in three patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis were reviewed and compared with CT findings in the same patients. Long-T2 lesions were demonstrated in each case, although their distribution varied with the clinical stage of the disease. MR, especially T2-weighted imaging, appears to be of great utility in the assessment of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.
