Abstract
Purpose: To report the fundus photographs and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT)
findings of a patient with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) presenting merely with ocular
symptoms.
Case report: A 20-year-old patient presented with sudden loss of vision in the left eye (LE). Fundus
photograph showed a yellow lesion in the macula and SD-OCT showed increased reflectivity of the inner
retinal layers. Disorganization of the necrotizing retinal layers in the LE gradually progressed to the
atrophic retina. Then, visual complaints began in the right eye (RE) accompanied by neurological
symptoms. SD-OCT revealed the inner and outer plexiform layers edema and interruption of the ellipsoid
zone in RE. Fundus photographs showed macular atrophy for both eyes on the day patient died.
Conclusion: This case report demonstrates the SD-OCT findings of SSPE retinitis with close follow-up from
the acute retinitis to the total atrophic macula. These unique findings may be considered as characteristical
for the diagnosis.
