A patient with spastic paralysis finally diagnosed as V180I genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease 9 years after onset

Abstract: Genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (gCJD) with a mutation in codon 180 of the prion protein gene (V180I gCJD) is the most common form of gCJD in Japan, but only a few cases have been reported in Europe and the United States. It is clinically characterized by occurring in the elderly and presenting as slowly progressive dementia, although it generally shows less cerebellar and pyramidal symptoms than sporadic CJD. Here, we report a patient with V180I gCJD who initially presented with slowly progressive spastic p… Show more

“…Some patients with V180I-gCJD have been reported to survive for a long period, up to 198 months (16.5 years). This may be due to tube feeding or very mild brainstem involvement, proven by pathological analysis and imaging biomarkers [ 19 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”
