Two patients with lithium toxicity presented with a neurological syndrome suggesting a diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.In both cases,the initial EEG was consistent with this diagnosis.Neither patient had permanent neurological sequelae and the EEG returned to normal.A careful drug history should be taken in any patient who presents with a rapidly progressive dementia even when the EEG supports a diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. |
