Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Diffusion-weighted imaging and 18F-FP-CIT of the patient. (A) Diffusion-weighted imaging (B-1000) showing abnormally high signal intensities in both parietal and temporal lobes. (B) 18F-FP-CIT positron emission tomography did not show postsynaptic dopaminergic deficits.

• 

  Fig. 2 Electroencephalography did not demonstrate typical rhythmic activity of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, revealing theta and delta slow activities.
