18F-FP-CIT PET/CT in a case of probable sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with parkinsonism as initial symptom

Abstract: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a low-prevalence, fatal neurodegenerative disease. Parkinsonism as first symptom of CJD is rare. We present a case manifesting difficulty falling asleep as unspecific prodromal symptom and parkinsonism as initial symptom. The patient received positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) of dopamine transporter (DAT) using 18 F-FP-CIT. The DAT-scan demonstrated presynaptic dopaminergic deficit in bilateral posterior putamen, which supports the hypothesis of nigros… Show more

“…The similarity between VV2-CJD and PD was also evident at the transcriptomic level, where differential gene expression and functional analysis confirmed and expanded the finding of impairment of some key biological processes associated with PD, such as dopamine secretion, regulation of calcium release, GABA signaling, and mitochondrial permeability in sCJD VV2. This finding is supported by the high prevalence of parkinsonism and other movement disorders in prion diseases [33][34][35][36][37]. Specifically, VV2 and MV2 subtypes exhibit the most severe neuropathological changes, as defined by regional lesion profiles, in the midbrain (substantia nigra) and striatum within the spectrum of sCJD subtypes [2].…”
