Abstract:
We present a case of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) in a 73-year-old patient, in which initial suspicion arose from unusual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and was later confirmed by cerebrospinal fluid analysis. This case report highlights the role of MRI in the early diagnosis of sCJD, facilitating timely palliative care, and highlights the key clinical and imaging characteristics of this rare and fatal prion disease.
