摘要

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is increasingly being reported over the last three decades as a result of heightened awareness for the disease. Various studies have reported an annual incidence of 0.5-1.5 cases of CJD per million of general population. However, in our country, like other developing countries the disease is still underreported. Here, we describe our clinical experience with an autopsy proved case of CJD. Introduction Prion diseases, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, are a group of fatal neurode-generative brain diseases, which include scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in animals and kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease in human. Prion diseases are generally characterised by progressive dementia and ataxia. At the time of death, the brain shows spongiform degeneration due to loss of neurons accumulation of the abnormal protease-resistant form (PrP RES) of the normal protease-sensitive cellular glyco-protein (PrP SEN).CJD may have three different origins: sporadic, familial, due to mutations in the prion gene, or infectious, due to iatrogenic exposure to infectious brain material.This paper describes the clinical experience with an autopsy proved case of CJD managed at the Department of Neurology, Razi Hospital.This paper describes the clinical experience with an autopsy proved case of CJD managed at the Department of Neurology, at the Razi Hospital in Iran. Case report A 56 years old woman was refered to our Hospital in October 2003 with a 2 months history of depressive symptoms accompanied by confusion and disorientation. In the past three months, her family members noted her insomnia, loss of appetite and periodic agitation. She was anxious in some days and had some delusions especially in the form of guilt and jealousy. Her interest and pleasure in almost all activities diminished remarkabely.She refered to a psychiatrist and the diagnosis of depression was made and treatment with antidepresants (Nortriptyllin 75mg /day and halopridol 0.5mg/day ) was prescribed. Some improvement in the symptoms was seen but after a few weeks her problems were more complicated. Her speech and responsivness became less and less and eventually she developed complete muteness. During examination, she was in catatonic stupor state. There was lack of spontaneous speech or movement, absence of goal-directed behavior, stiffness and rigidity in all body movements. The family history and her past medical history were negative for similar disorder, surgery and any other medical problems. The CT scan and MRI were normal. The EEG showed generalized background slowing with a few irregular sharp waves. Biochemical and microbiological studies of CSF were normal. Routine blood counts and chemistries were normal. Psychiatric consultation was requested and a diagnosis of “bipolar catatonia” was made and electrocunvulsive therapy (ECT) was started. After three ECTs the patient's state became deteriorated and she intubated for airway support. During last days of addmision some brief and localized myoclonus was noticed in her hand but there was no gross polymyoclonus in history and serial examinations of patient. In the final stage of the disease, the patient lost all her mental and physical functions. The serial EEGs showed generalized periodic sharp waves, 0.5 to 1 cycles per second, typical for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (Figure 1).
