A case report of an individual with Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease characterized by prolonged isolated thalamic lesions and rare MM2-cortical-type pathology

Abstract Background Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is essential for diagnosing Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD). Thalamic lesions are rarely detected by DWI in sporadic CJD (sCJD) cases with methionine homozygosity at polymorphic codon 129 (129MM) of the prion protein (PrP) gene....
