PT journal article
AB Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is an uncommon rapidly progressive neurological disorder which can have protean clinical presentations. We report an autopsy-proven case of CJD presenting initially as epilepsia partialis continua but then developing the typical clinical features of CJD over several weeks. CJD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of new onset epilepsia partialis continua in adults.
