Abstract

Clinical features seen in patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) may be diverse symptoms. Due to diverse clinical features, it may be necessary to differentiate from cerebrovascular disease or psychotic symptoms during initial evaluation. In this case, we discuss the clinical case of a 57-year-old female patient with multiple neurological symptoms. The patient showed clinical features of AIWS during evaluation and conservative care, and was diagnosed with sCJD. In this regard, it is considered that evaluation and management are required along with recognition of the possibility of non-specific neurological symptoms such as AIWS in sCJD patients in the future.
