title: [Epileptic crisis at the onset of SSPE (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis): considerations apropos of a case].
abstract: A case of SSPE is reported and discussed; in all the evolution of this history, epileptic seizures were precocious (a long time before the onset of characteristic features of the disease) and dominant. The Authors, also on the basis of the literature (a definite pattern of evolution of epilepsy within SSPE is not reported), emphasize that this disease must be however considered among the possible aetiologies of an epileptic syndrome with onset in childhood.
