The Various Faces of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD); a Case of CJD Presenting as Psychosis in a Middle-Aged Woman

[摘要] Aims Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an abnormal glycoprotein known as the prion protein. The core features include progressive cognitive decline, cerebellar dysfunction, personality changes, and visual disturbances. Although psychiatric symptoms are rare, they can be the primary symptom of CJD, and such presentations can pose diagnostic difficulties. In this paper, we describe the case of Ms. R, who manifested psychotic symptoms as the first signs of CJD.
