Abstract
We report a biopsy‐diagnosed patient with Creutzfeldt‐Jacob disease showing on magnetic resonance images bilateral increased signal intensity in the basal ganglia on long repetition time images. Creutzfeldt‐Jacob disease (CJD) is a degenerative process of the brain, induced by a novel infectious agent, and is usually characterized by a rapidly progressive dementia. We report a biopsydiagnosed patient with CJD with a distinctive magnetic resonance (MR) apperance.Keywords
