Atypical presentations of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis include hemiparesis, acute disseminatedencephalomyelitis, cerebellar ataxia, visual disturbances, symptoms suggestive of the intracranial spaceoccupying lesion, and extrapyramidal movement disorders. Parkinsonism as the presenting featureof subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a rare occurrence.
