Summary:For the purpose of the is review, citations were identified through PubMed searches limited to the past 30 years (1988–2017) using the search terms (including variations), “subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE),” “SSPE AND infant,” “SSPE AND toddler,” combined with study filters for case reports, case series, cohort studies, and original research. [...]the typical clinical picture of subacute mental deterioration with stereotyped generalized myoclonus is often preceded by a premorbid developmental delay with or without seizures in all five children as in our second child. [...]there is a need for intensification of the primary immunization and measles eradication program in India.
