“…(7) Otros síntomas atípicos dentro de este cuadro son insomnio y síntomas psiquiátricos. Se han reportado casos en los cuales el insomnio con agitación psicomotora o trastornos del ánimo y la personalidad, fueron síntomas iniciales en ECJ, antecediendo características más típicas como deterioro cognitivo o síndrome cerebeloso (8,9) . En una revisión retrospectiva de 126 casos de ECJ, hallaron que un 80% tenía síntomas psiquiátricos (depresión, ansiedad, psicosis, cambios conductuales, alteraciones del sueño) dentro de los primeros 100 días de enfermedad y 26% al momento de consultar.…”

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare neurodegenerative disease with a high incidence in Chile compared to the rest of the world. The condition is mainly characterized by the development of rapidly progressive dementia and various nonspecific neurological signs, the most common being myoclonus. The case that will be described below stands out for the atypical initial manifestations that the patient presented, such as sensory compromise in the cranio-cervico-dorsal region and peripheral polyneuropathy of the lower extremities, which meant a delay in the clinical diagnosis of the disease. It is important to know the different symptoms and signs that can be present in the clinical picture of CJD, both typical and those less frequent, in order to be able to diagnose the disease in earlier stages. Similarly, it is essential to have diagnostic tools such as the detection of 14-3-3 protein or Tau protein in health centers in our country. This would allow the health team to provide adequate and timely support management to these patients.

Background: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare fatal neurodegenerative disorder presenting with rapid cognitive decline and additional signs. The clinical characteristics of an increasing number of sporadic CJD (sCJD) patients admitted to the Ljubljana University Medical Centre are presented as well as the incidence of sCJD in Slovenia in 2015 compared to previous years. Methods: We investigated patients presenting with rapidly progressive dementia and at least one additional sign. The diagnosis was made based on clinical diagnostic criteria and an autopsy was performed in all cases. Data on definite sCJD cases in Slovenia since 1999 were obtained and its incidence was calculated. Results: Eight patients with definite sCJD died in 2015 in Slovenia (incidence: 3.89 cases per million). The long-term incidence 1999 was 1.67 per million. Conclusions: The incidence of sCJD was considerably higher in 2015. It reflects fluctuations in sporadic cases of this rare disease. The rising trend might indicate a previous underestimation and better recognition of the disease.
