Creutzel-Jakob disease mimics a Richardson syndrome, spectrum of supranuclear progressive palsy

Abstract

The clinical spectrum of Creutzeld-Jakob disease (CJD) is extensive. CJD in the sporadic variant could be debut as prominent ataxic (10%) o thalamic (2%) of cases) symptoms. In a patient with rapidly cognitive impairment in less than six months, the probability of diagnosis is high. We presented a man with six months of evolution con cerebellar syndrome, ocular supraversion limited and symmetrical parkinsonism with multiple cognitive impairments that simulated a Richardson spectrum of Supranuclear progressive Palsy.
