Spindle coma and alternating pattern in the course of measles encephalitis.
1996
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a well known complication of measles infection. Electroencephalographic abnormalities may occur frequently, in the form of moderate to severe diffuse high voltage theta-delta activity. We report a case of measles encephalitis with rapid benign outcome, that showed peculiar EEG features both of a "spindle coma" pattern and of an "alternating pattern." Possible physiological explanations of the EEG findings are discussed.
