Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis in a 63-Year-Old Woman Presenting as Generalized Choreoathetosis.

The persistence of measles virus infection in childhood and early adolescence can rarely lead to a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder known as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), characterized by behavioral disturbances and intellectual disability followed by myoclonic jerks and occasional negative myoclonus. Movement disorders are rarely presenting manifestations in SSPE. We herein report a 63-year-old woman with generalized choreoathetosis as the presenting manifestation of stage-I SSPE.

Hypoxic ischemic brain injury with status myoclonus in a case with post-operative massive pulmonary thromboembolism: A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

Thromboembolic event is an important and widely regarded risk factor, influencing the outcome and overall survival in post-operative cases with second highest association with gynaecological surgeries. Here we report a 52 years old female who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TLH+BSO) presented to our emergency in unconscious and intubated state on her post-operative day-1 with cardiorespiratory failure. Based on the immediate investigations after successful resuscitation, an initial diagnosis of massive pulmonary thromboembolism was made following supportive and conservative management.
