Article Abstract
Although approximately 20%of the patients did not have MR imaging abnormalities,MR imaging did show signal intensity alterations due to gliosis and spongiform changes early in the course of CJD in the remaining 80%.The demonstration of bilateral areas of increased signal intensity that predominantly affected the caudate nuclei and the putamina on long- repetition-time MR images in an elderly patient with rapidly progressive dementia represents a specific finding and clearly should suggest the diagnosis of CJD.
