Overview
Common symptoms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease include uncontrolled sporadic laughter, progressive dementia, depression, personality changes, sleep disorders, and jerky movements (characteristic myoclonus).[1]
History and Symptoms
Common symptoms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease include the following:
- Uncontrolled sporadic laughter
- Jerky movements (myoclonus) (characteristic feature)
- Apathy
- Headache
- Depression
- Dementia
- Judgement difficulties[2]
- Memory loss
- Personality changes
- Hallucinations
- Seizures
- Insomnia or hypersomnia[3]
- Arthralgia
The following table demonstrates distinguishing features for classic and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease:
Characteristic | Classic CJD | Variant CJD |
Median age at death | 68 years | 28 years |
Median duration of symptoms | 4 to 5 months | 13 to 14 months |
Common clinical manifestations | Dementia, early neurologic signs | Psychiatric symptoms, painful dyesthesiasis, delayed neurological signs |
Periodic sharp waves ono EEG | Present | Absent |
"Pulvinar sign" on MRI | Not reported | Usually present |
"Florid plaques" on neuropathology | Rare / absent | Abundant |
Immunohistochemical analysis of brain tissue | Variable accumulation | Marked accumulation of protease-resistance prion protein |
Agent in lymphoid tissue | Not detected | Detected |
Glycoform ratioo on immunoblot analysis of protease-resistance prion protein | Not reported | Marked accumulation of protease-resistance prion protein |
