| To ascertain the clinical features of prion diseases, we analyzed
the patient's age at onset and duration of disease course, which
was calculated as the interval between the onset and the appearance of
the akinetic mutism state or death in the patients who died without
akinetic mutism. Symptoms include nausea, headache, weakness,
irritability, confusion, visual disturbances, parkinsonism, persistent
vegetative state, akinetic mutism, agnosia, apraxia, confabulation,
depression, delirium, and psychosis (8). Masters
proposed that probable CJD may be diagnosed in patients with rapidly
progressive dementia, biphasic or triphasic waves on EEG, and at least
two of myoclonus, visual or cerebellar symptoms, pyramidal or
extrapyramidal signs, and akinetic mutism (14). |
