Probable sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with valine homozygosity at codon 129 and bilateral middle cerebellar peduncle lesions.
We describe a 67-year-old Japanese man with probable sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) who had valine homozygosity at codon 129, a rarity in the Japanese. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detected high-intensity lesions in the bilateral middle cerebellar peduncles and basal ganglia as well as cerebellar and cortical atrophy. He developed cerebellar ataxia and subsequent menta...

متن کاملHereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy Type VI with Bilateral Middle Cerebellar Peduncle Involvement
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) 2A with optic atrophy is referred to as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type VI (HMSN VI) and is caused by mitofusin 2 gene (MFN2) mutation. In patients with MFN2 related CMT, central nervous system is known to be also involved and cerebral white matter is mostly involved. We report a patient confirmed as HMSN VI who had isolated bilateral middle cerebe...
متن کاملMumps virus encephalitis with symmetric claustrum lesions.
Lesions Bilateral symmetric claustrum lesions shown on MR imaging are rarely reported, especially transient and reversible lesions associated with seizures, such as herpes simplex encephalitis, unidentified encephalopathy, and acute encephalitis with refractory repetitive partial seizures. To our knowledge, there are no reports of symmetric bilateral claustrum lesions with mumps encephalitis. A...
متن کاملEncephalitis and cerebellar ataxia associated with Epstein-Barr virus infections.
ENCEPHALITIS and cerebellar ataxia are rare complications of infectious mononucleosis (IM). Until recently the demonstration of a raised titre of heterophil antibodies in a Paul-Bunnell test provided the best objective data for substantiating a diagnosis of IM. Unfortunately, this test may produce both false positive and false negative results and may remain positive for many months after the a...
