  Fig. 1 Diffusion weighted (upper) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (lower) brain magnetic resonance imaging showing high signal intensities in diffuse bilateral cortical areas.

• 

  Fig. 2 DNA sequences at codon 180 of prion protein gene from a normal control (left) and the patient (right). The arrow indicates a substitution of GTC (valine) by ATC (isoleucine) suggesting familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
