Abstract

A 70-year-old woman was admitted to the intensive care unit with refractory nonconvulsive status epilepticus. Extensive evaluation including neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid examination was unrevealing. Brain biopsy revealed spongiosis, and prion disease was confirmed by immunostaining, providing the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
