Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease is the most common form of prion
diseases, which have become public health problems in the
last two decades because of the high number of reported cases
of mad cow disease in Great Britain and other countries.
Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease is a fatal situation with known cardinal
clinical features including progressive memory loss and
myoclonic seizure disorder. In this report, we present a case of
Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease with characteristic clinical signs
such as progressive memory loss, myoclonic jerks, and focal
and generalized seizures. We also discuss the pathologic findings
of the brain autopsy confirmed by Gottingen center
(Germany) for spongiform encephalopathy.
