Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease mimicking autoimmune encephalitis with CASPR2 antibodies
BACKGROUND Differential diagnosis of severe progressive dementia includes a wide spectrum of inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Particularly challenging is the differentiation of potentially treatable autoimmune encephalitis and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Such a coincidence may indeed complicate the correct diagnosis and influence subsequent treatment. CASE PRESENTATION A 75-year-ol...
متن کاملGenetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease mimicking variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
The ‘‘pulvinar sign’’ on MRI brain scan is defined as hyperintensity of the posterior thalamus relative to the signal intensity of the anterior putamen. In the appropriate clinical context, the pulvinar sign and hyperintensity in the dorsomedial thalamic nuclei (the hockey stick sign) are sensitive and specific features of variant Creutzfeldt– Jakob disease (vCJD). Variant CJD is an acquired fo...
متن کاملSporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease mimicking variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
BACKGROUND The determination of the form of prion disease and early diagnosis are important for prognostic, public health, and epidemiologic reasons. OBJECTIVE To describe a patient with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) who had a clinical history and initial electroencephalogram and magnetic resonance imaging findings consistent with variant CJD (vCJD). RESULTS Results of a repeate...
متن کاملPathologically confirmed autoimmune encephalitis in suspected Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical features and presence in CSF of antineuronal antibodies in patients with pathologically proven autoimmune encephalitis derived from a cohort of patients with suspected Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). METHODS The Dutch Surveillance Centre for Prion Diseases performed 384 autopsies on patients with suspected CJD over a 14-year period (1998-2011). Clinical in...
متن کاملCarcinomatous meningitis mimicking Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
We report a case of carcinomatous meningitis diagnosed at autopsy that was clinically diagnosed as a case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) because of rapidly evolving dementia. Pathological study revealed diffusely spreading carcinomatous meningitis, infiltrating into cortex along Virchow Robin space. Immunostaining for Prion protein was negative. Despite advances in clinical diagnosis, tissu...
