AB We report 2 autopsy-proven patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) showing bilateral decreased signal intensity in the thalamus on T2-weighted images. On post-mortem examination, all affected areas showed the characteristic features of CJD, such as neuronal loss, gliosis, and status spongiosus. These findings are another distinctive MRI appearance in CJD.
