Abstract

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rapidly-progressive dementing illness, the challenge of diagnosis during life. We presented a 78-year-old woman reported stupor, right facial palsy, and fluctuations in consciousness. 99mTc-ECD brain SPECT/CT with eZIS analysis revealed significant decreased regional cerebral blood flow mainly in specific regions of Alzheimer’s disease as the published article reported with involving frontal region. Brain DWI MRI increased signal intensities corresponding to similar location of 99mTc-ECD brain SPECT/CT. In this case, we reported the pattern of decreased rCBF may correlate to rapidly progressive dementia and associated neurodegenerative symptoms of the highly suspected sCJD patient.
