“…CJD can be classified as sporadic, which is the most common form, accounting for 85% of cases; inherited, which is caused by various heritable mutations in the prion protein (PRNP) gene; iatrogenic, caused by inoculation of prions through contaminated materials; or a variant form (vCJD), which usually results from the transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy to humans, most commonly through the consumption of contaminated meat. 7 A limited number of conditions, all of which are relatively uncommon, produce a syndrome of rapidly progressive dementia that can be mistaken for CJD. Some are treatable; therefore, the evaluation should be thorough.…”

“…The classic clinical manifestation of HvCJD is cortical blindness, due to involvement of the parieto-occipital cortex. 7 Isolated visual symptoms including poor vision, disturbed perception of colors or structures, visual defects, hemianopsia, visual agnosia, abnormal color/spatial perception and optical distortions, as well as optical hallucinations without any ocular disease, may also occur. 1,11 At disease onset, patients apparently not fully demented typically give up reading or watching television due to visual impairment, with visual field restriction, blurred vision, vision loss, or even total blindness.…”

“…Recent studies conducted in Brazil have highlighted the importance of imaging methods in the evaluation of diseases affecting the central nervous system (24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) . Spectroscopy in the posterior cingulate gyrus is extensively studied in Alzheimer's disease, in which previous studies showed lower NAA/Cr ratio in patients with Alzheimer's disease than in individuals with mild cognitive impairment and controls.…”

“…A series of recent studies conducted in Brazil have highlighted the importance of MRI in the assessment of diseases of the nervous system ( 2 - 7 ) . In this pictorial essay, we illustrate the main causes of non-neoplastic intracranial cystic lesions, discussing their possible differential diagnoses as well as their most relevant imaging aspects.…”
