Article Synopsis
- A necropsy of a Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease patient revealed severe brain damage, particularly in the lateral geniculate body and pregeniculate body, while other areas like the superior colliculus remained intact.
- The patient exhibited unique EEG features, including photo-stimulated giant spikes that suppressed periodic synchronous discharges and a loss of pupillary light reflex.
- This suggests that the visual pathway plays a role in the unusual symptoms observed in this case of CJD.
