Abstract

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare prion disease characterized by a spongiform encephalopathy in humans. Although the characteristic triad of myoclonus, dementia, and periodic EEG activity is easy to recognize, unusual manifestations of the disease may be challenging and create a diagnostic dilemma. We report a case of CJD that occurred in a 26-year-old patient who presented with a receptive (Wernicke's) aphasia secondary to nonconvulsive status epilepticus.
