[Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Apropos of 8 cases, with one developing over a 13-year period].
The subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is one of the few child dementiae. An eight cases study is the opportunity of analysing the clinical, electrical and evolutive particularities of this very serious prognosis disease. The circumstantial comment of a thirteen-year-followed-case illustrates the clinical features, the electrical evolution, and the late C.T. scan aspects.
