Asymmetric cortical high signal on diffusion weighted-MRI in a case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease Hipersinal cortical assimétrico na ressonância magnética na imagem em difusão em caso de doença de Creutzfeldt-Jakob

High signal in the cerebral cortex and/or basal ganglia on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) has been described as a good diagnostic marker for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD). We report a case of sCJD with atypical clinical evolution and unusual DW-MRI findings. A 53-...
