Abstract EN
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a type of progressive, subacute encephalopathy associated with spongiform degeneration of the central nervous system.
sCJD includes a broad and heterogeneous spectrum of clinical variants, but extrapyramidal symptoms and signs at disease onset were rarely reported.
We describe a case of unilateral parkinsonism associated with pathological 123I-ioflupane SPECT (DaTSCAN) results as the initial manifestation of M129V subtype sCJD patient.
To the best of our knowledge, only 2 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease demonstrating nigrostriatal dopaminergic deficits in vivo using DaTSCAN have been published in the literature.
