Schilder disease

Schilder disease
a subacute or chronic form of leukoencephalopathy of children and adolescents, characterized by massive destruction of the white substance of the cerebral hemispheres with cavity formation and glial scarring. Clinical symptoms include blindness, deafness, bilateral spasticity, and progressive mental deterioration. The disease as a separate diagnostic entity has been disputed. It usually occurs sporadically, but a familial form has been reported. Called also encephalitis periaxialis diffusa, Flatau-Schilder d., and Schilder encephalitis.
