Abstract:
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a prion disease characterized by rapidly progressive dementia that is often followed by behavioral disturbances, ataxia, myoclonus, and akinetic mutism. The initial symptoms of CJD reportedly vary, but the onset is usually gradual. Here, we report a case of CJD with a sudden, stroke-like onset of right hemiparesis to alert readers that CJD can mimic a stroke during its early stage.
