[Creutzfeldt-Jakob encephalopathy with mutation E200K. Report of a "sporadic" case].

Introduction: Creutzfeldt Jakob disease (CJD) has the highest incidence of the whole group of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases, which have the unique feature among all pathologies, to be able to appear as infectious/iatrogenic, sporadic or hereditary, being common to all, the deposition of an abnormal prion protein (PrPSc,CJres) in the central nervous system. More than 20 mutations of the gene (PRNP) that encodes the prion protein have been described. We here report a case of CJD(E200K) refered as probable 'sporadic' according to WHO.
