Diffusion-weighted MRI for differentiating Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease mimics.
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD) is a rare neurodegenerative, prion disease characterized by rapidly progressive dementia, visual disturbances, myoclonus and extrapyramidal and pyramidal involvement. An 80-year-old woman presented with progressive dementia and visual and auditory hallucinations over a two-month period. Neurological examination revealed cognitive impairment and right hem...

متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MRI for differentiating Wilms tumor from neuroblastoma.
PURPOSE Wilms tumor (WT) and neuroblastoma (NB) are the most common pediatric abdominal malignant neoplasms of the kidney and adrenal gland. Differentiating them from each other is essential since their treatments are different. Here, we aimed to show the diffusion characteristics of WT and NB for differentiation. METHODS Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of 17 histopathologically diagnosed le...
متن کاملUnilateral cortical hyperintensity in diffusion-weighted MRI; New criteria for early sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rapidly progressive fatal prion disease. The proposed diagnostic criteria1,2 are not sufficiently helpful for diagnosis in early stages of the disorder. A 69-year-old female was brought to our hospital with a history of 3 weeks left side hemiparesis and the progressive loss of speech and attention. She was awake and mute without any purposeful beha...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted sequence on MRI for the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a progressive and fatal dementing illness caused by a virus like agent called prion. Currently, the definitive diagnosis can only be made through brain biopsy. Given its potential transmissibility, it is paramount to have noninvasive and reliable means to detect the disease. The present case reports on a 63 year-old man with biopsy proven CJD, and evaluates th...
