- Abstract
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a fairly rare prion disease characterized by rapidly progressive dementia and neuropsychiatric symptoms. The diversity of the disease's clinical characteristics causes diagnostic difficulty. In some cases the initial findings of CJD are psychiatric symptoms. Herein we present a male patient that was diagnosed as CJD after dementia, ataxia, and myoclonus developed rapidly after the onset of psychiatric symptoms.
