Article Synopsis
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a severe brain disorder characterized by rapid dementia and specific abnormalities seen in MRI scans, but distinguishing it from other conditions requires thorough testing and history.
- A 41-year-old male experienced fast-developing symptoms like forgetfulness and inability to walk or speak, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of probable sporadic CJD after MRI and EEG evaluations matched expected patterns.
- The case emphasizes the importance of considering CJD in patients with swift cognitive decline, as misdiagnosis can have serious implications, and the patient's condition worsened significantly despite supportive care.
Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare inherited impaired copper metabolism with diverse clinical pictures dominated by hepatic and neurologic manifestations. We report the case of a 14-year-old female patient who attended the Department of Neuropsychiatry at Ali Abad Teaching Hospital, Kabul, Afghanistan, with generalized tonic-clonic seizure and cerebellar dysfunction. The patient was initially diagnosed as encephalitis and epilepsy and finally diagnosed with WD based on the clinical and laboratory findings.
