abstract={A five years old Yemeni boy presented with a 5 months history of progressive neurological deterioration in picture of progressive cognitive decline , seizures and hyperkinetic movements. Patient came from an area with political instability and  low socio-economic status. There was history suggestive of measles at 2 years of age. He never received measles vaccination. Diagnosis of sub acute sclerosing pan encephalitis (SSPE) was made based on clinical symptoms, serum and CSF findings of high measles IgG, neuroradiological findings as well as neurophysiological findings. We report this case to highlight the role of intravenous immunoglobulin and steroid in improving his symptoms.},
