Rapidly Progressive Neurodegenerative Dementias
Arch Neurol 66:201-207, Josephs,K.A.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Based on this cohort, although CJD is the most likely cause of a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative dementia, frontotemporal lobar degeneration with motor neuron degeneration, diffuse Lewy body disease, tauopathies, and Alzheimer disease can also cause a rapidly progressive dementia. If illness duration is beyond 12 months, a non-CJD neurodegenerative disease may be more likely than CJD to be the diagnosis.
