Parkinsonism Associated with Pathological 123I-FP-CIT SPECT (DaTSCAN) Results as the Initial Manifestation of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

<div>(a) DaTSCAN detected a slight decrease in tracer uptake in the left caudate nucleus, as well as reduced uptake in the putamina (more marked in the left). (b) Brain MRI scan (axial, diffusion-weighted sequences). Above: hyperintensity in left putamen (arrow). Below: disease progression was associated with involvement of the cortex of the left hemisphere and, to a lesser extent, the right temporoparietal cortex (asterisks). Images were taken at a one-month interval.</div>
