Highlights • SSPE diagnosis can be missed in adult cases if not included in the differential diagnosis.• Adult cases may present with atypical clinical features and with an aggressive course.• Antiviral drugs and immunomodulatory modalities have been tried alone or in combination, but there is no cure for SSPE.• Measles vaccination is the only measure that can reduce the risk of SSPE.
