Abstract
Two patients with biopsy-proven Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease had MRI studies that revealed increased signal in the basal ganglia on T-2 weighted images, suggesting that MRI can be a useful diagnostic instrument in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

MRI showed increased signal intensity in striatum, thalamus, and cerebral cortex in images obtained with TR 1,600 msec, and TE 35 and 70 msec, which can help to differentiate CJD from other dementing processes.

Serial examinations revealed the progressive nature of the atrophy, findings compatible with the patients' clinical deterioration, and suggest that the white matter abnormalities, if present, develop during the final stage of CJD.

Computed tomography (CT) was normal in twelve of fifteen patients with definite Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and in two patients CT showed mild sulcal widening, while marked ventricular enlargement and moderate cortical atrophy were seen in a patient who had both Creutzfields disease and normal pressure hydrocephalus.

MR appears to be more sensitive than CT in detecting pathologic changes in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; signal abnormalities, when found, are predominantly within gray matter and may involve only peripheral cortex.

A comparison of clinical, EEG, and pathologic features was carried out on all cases of autopsy-proven Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease studied over the last 10 years, finding periodic sharp wave complexes (PSWCs) were present in three but absent in seven patients.

An unusual case of CJD in which the magnetic resonance images obtained four months before death revealed high signal intensity in the caudate nuclei bilaterally, which correspond to severe involvement of this region at autopsy.

It is suggested that periodic electroencephalographic activity may be rare in familial forms of Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease, as it is in other slow transmissible encephalopathies.
