Abstract
We report a 49-year-old woman with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). In addi tion to typical high-signal lesions on proton-density and T2-weighted image s there was high signal in the globus pallidus bilaterally on T1-weighted i mages. The latter feature has not been described previously and probably du e to deposition of prion protein, as found at autopsy.
