Correlating diffusion-weighted MRI intensity with type 2 pathology in mixed MM-type sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
The existence of affected subjects with both abnormal prion protein (PrPSc) types has been reported, and their clinical features were somewhat similar to the dominant PrPSc type but varied in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD). Presently, the antemortem identification of both PrPSc types in sCJD is not possible. In this study, we attempted to clinically predict the concurrence of MM-type sCJD with another PrPSc type in the same individual. We retrospectively identified seven MM-type sCJD cases with both fine vacuole-type spongiform (FV) and large confluent vacuole-type spongiform change (LCV) among 49 sCJD cases.
