Clinic

  • It is the most important Prion miasm.
  • A rare neurodegenerative disease that is clinically characterized by
    1. Rapidly progressive dementia
    2. Visual disturbance
    3. Movement disorders (myoclonus) (90%)
    4. Cerebellar ataxia (80%) [1]
  • Nonspecific / Prodromal syndrome of fatigue Sleeping/ Eating disorders (33%)
  • Cognitive symptoms such as Memory loss / Confusion or Behavioral changes / Personality changes / Hallucinations (33%)
  • Focal neurological signs (33%) such as
  • Almost all patients enter a phase of Akinetic mutism before death.
  • Although chorea is commonly observed in variant CJD (vCJD= NVCJD), it is considered a rare occurrence in sporadic CJD (sCJD).


Entities

  • Cortical Blindness: Visual Agnosia, Visual field deficits, Blindness

Related disease

Dysphagia

As the disease process advances, destruction of the cerebral architecture in sensory, motor, and associated areas can lead to oropharyngeal dysphagia. [4]


Prosopagnosia

Presenting clinical symptoms included paranoid thoughts and agitation, rapidly progressive memory decline, prosopagnosia, and late development of myoclonus and mutism

Ref: Carrasco AE, Appleby BS, Cali I, Okhravi HR. Atypical Case of VV1 Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Subtype: Case Report. Front Neurol. 2022 May 9;13:875370. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2022.875370. PMID: 35614914; PMCID: PMC9124891.
