Ocular signs generally appear concomitant with neurological signs. These are cortical blindness, hemianopsia, nystagmus, extraocular muscle paresies, papilledema, optic atrophy, macular chorioretinitis and pigment alterations. Chorioretinitis is the most typical finding and can sometimes precede the norological signs.

SSPE must be included in the differential diagnosis of adolescent chorioretinitis. Keywords : Chorioretinitis, Subacute Sclerosmg Panencephalitis
