Only the examinations including DWI and/or FLAIR sequences were included. Positive examination was defined according to revised diagnostic sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease criteria.25
Includes both definite and probable cases.
Frequencies were calculated only for typical cases.
Isolated hyperintensities were found in the temporal (n = 1), parietal (n = 4) and occipital cortex (n = 3). Additionally, frontal neocortex showed hyperintensities in 31 cases.
