Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Presenting as Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome [PDF]

Cureus, 2020
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is the most common human prion disease presenting with subacute cognitive decline. Common MRI findings for CJD include the T2 prolongation signal of the putamen and head of caudate. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is considered to be the most sensitive technique for the detection of CJD-related abnormalities, especially ...

MRI and clinical syndrome in dura materrelated Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, 2009
OBJECTIVE: Iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (iCJD) is mainly associated with dura mater (DM) grafts and administration of human growth hormones (hGH). Data on disease course in DM-CJD are limited. We describe the clinical and diagnostic findings in this patient group with special emphasis on MRI signal alterations. METHODS: Ten DM-CJD patients were
