Rapidly progressive dementia in an adult with findings of bilateral, symmetric high signal intensity on T2βweighted sequences and normal findings on T1βweighted sequences predominantly in the deep grey matter is suggestive of CreutzfeldtβJakob disease (CJD). The peripheral cortex may be involved, as
A 49-year-old woman presented with progressive dementia. Diffusion-weighted MR images showed abnormalities in the cerebral cortex as well as the putamen and caudate head bilaterally. MR spectroscopic imaging revealed marked asymmetric decrease of normal metabolites in the right basal ganglia, with c
