Main Outcome Measure Difference in neuropathological and radiological findings between patients with the Heidenhain variant and other patients with CJD. Patients Medical records of 169 neurologically examined patients with prospectively classified and neuropathologically confirmed CJD were analyzed. Setting A university hospital, base of the German National Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Study. Neuropathological changes were compared with those in a group of 14 patients with ataxia as the leading clinical sign. The clinical symptoms, neuropathological findings, electroencephalograms, magnetic resonance images, and cerebrospinal fluid samples of 14 Heidenhain cases were evaluated. Objective To investigate whether typical neuropathological and radiological findings can be identified in patients with the clinical diagnosis of the Heidenhain variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD).ĭesign Case study.
