The new variant affecting young adults which appeared in the United Kingdom (20 cases) and France (1 case) in 1994 is due to the same infectious agent which causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy.

Characterising the uncommon corticobasal syndrome presentation of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2013Corticobasal syndrome (CBS), which encompasses cortical sensory loss, alien limb, bradykinesia, rigidity, limb apraxia and dystonia, is the classic presentation of corticobasal degeneration (CBD).
