Vol. 6 No. 4 Part 2 (2026): Eurasian Journal of Medical and Natural Sciences 194-198
Abstract
Sclerosing panencephalitis (SP) is a rare but severe progressive disease of the central nervous system in children, characterized by significant neurological impairment and unfavorable prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and neurological features of SP in children considering patients’ age and duration of the pathological process.
