Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is caused by persistent infection with mutant measles virus. Here, we report a Chinese boy (4.4 years old) presenting with multimode seizures at onset and suspected epileptic encephalopathy, such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). He gradually developed intellectual deterioration, progressed consciousness abnormalities, and became decerebrate with decorticate rigidity. Brain biopsy confirmed SSPE diagnosis. It indicates that SSPE must be considered when clinical clues are presented, including medical history and multimode seizures, although periodic EEG changes appear similarly in other seizure type as LGS.
