A patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) with prion protein (PrP) gene codon 180 mutation (CJD 180) experienced cognitive decline over the 1.5-year period before her death. Serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies tracked stepwise propagation of cortical abnormal swelling and T2 elongations. On postmortem examination, the cortical areas affected by CJD for relatively short periods were associated...
