Probable sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease mimicking focal epilepsy
Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) presents with seizures as an early symptom in only approximately 3% of cases. These seizures often present as nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) or epilepsia partialis continua (EPC). Here, we describe a case of probable sporadic CJD (sCJD) in an 83-year-old man...

These seizures often present as nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) or epilepsia partialis continua (EPC). Here, we describe a case of probable sporadic CJD (sCJD) in an 83-year-old man whose manifest an unusual presentation of left-hand tonic seizures without evolution to EPC, as well as brain MRI findings interpreted as peri-ictal changes, which led to an initial misdiagnosis of focal epilepsy.
