Here, we report a peculiar case of the Heidenhain-variant of MM1 sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease presenting as a stroke mimic in an 81-year-old patient with a rapid and clinically distinct course of disease as compared to previously reported cases.

While 14-3-3 protein was negative, clinical findings substantiated by 18F-FDG-PET imaging and RT-QuIC-Assay were able to establish the diagnosis. We conclude that in cases presenting with rapid progressive dementia secondary to sudden cortical anopsia the Heidenhain-variant of CJD should be considered.

2002年6月20日 · The clinical syndrome is characterized by progressive cognitive decline, visual hallucinations and/or cortical blindness. Psychosis or depression at onset are frequently reported, similar to other CJD forms.

Patients complain of blurred vision and poor eyesight. In some cases, cortical anopsia can be verified. Visual hallucinations occur in both patients with and without other visual dis-
