The authors reports cerebral Computerized Axial Tomography findings examined, in association with other diagnostic tests, in 5 cases of Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis in the acute phase and repeated in 2 of these patients later, during the state and terminal phases of the disease. Hypodensity of the white matter was the main sign of initial cerebral parenchymal involvement and an atrophic aspect was most indicative of the terminal phase. Moreover, it has been shown that associated with clinical symptomatology, immunologic data and EEG signs, cerebral Computerized Axial Tomography may offer the possibility for evaluating the nature and the evolutive stage of the disease and facilitate differential diagnosis from other degenerative encephalopathies.

Computerized cranial tomography was performed in 14 patients affected with hepatolenticular degeneration (4 presymptomatic and 10 with a hepatic form). 1 case showed brain stem atrophy with atypically located hypodense areas and another subject showed frontal atrophy with prevalence to the right side. The abnormalities found in another 7 cases were slight. In 5 patients, CT was normal.
