AB  - Positron emission tomography (PET) was performed on two patients in different 
      stages of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) and compared with the 
      concurrent computed tomography (CT) findings and clinical status. Case 1, which 
      was in stage II, showed luxury perfusion in the anterior half of the cerebrum and 
      decreases of cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism in the right frontal 
      watershed zone, where CT showed low density. Case 2, which was in stage III, 
      showed marked decreases of cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolic rate of 
      oxygen in all regions except the occipital region. The present PET study 
      demonstrated that SSPE showed inflammatory-destructive progression and 
      rostral-caudal progression. Further, it was suspected that low density on CT 
      scan, especially in the watershed zone, resulted partly from disturbances in 
      cerebral circulation.
