PG - 87-92 AB - We reported 3 cases with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) showing recurrent and involuntary motor phenomena. Their electroclinical correlates were analyzed using CCTV-EEG. Clinically, they slanted their trunks and/or heads, and dropped their upper limbs momentarily only when their antigravity muscles were suitably contracting (sitting, standing, or stretching out their arms). Electrographically, the motor phenomena corresponded with the occurrence of periodic synchronous discharges (PSD) (in one-to-one manner). EMG potentials associated with the muscle contraction subsided at the very moment. These motor phenomena observed in patients with SSPE were discussed in relation to asterexis.
