Limbic Encephalitis Associated with Anti-Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel Complex Antibodies Mimicking Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
JAMA Neurol 71:79-82, Yoo,J.Y. & Hirsch, L.J., 2014

Article Abstract
Given the similarities of the clinical features and, at times, the neuroimaging findings of VGKCC syndrome to CJD, recognizing VGKCC syndrome and the highly associated and distinctive faciobrachial dystonic seizures is very important. Because this syndrome is the most common treatable condition that mimics CJD, we believe that it is crucial to screen all patients with presumed CJD for this reversible condition.
