Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: Causes, Symptoms, and Homeopathic Remedies

EEG findings in Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease is a rare, fatal, degenerative brain disease characterized by abnormal proteins called prions. Prions disrupt normal brain tissue to cause disruptions in both normal cognitive function and motor dysfunction and death.

Types of CJD

  1. Sporadic CJD (sCJD):
  • The most common (85-90% of cases).
  • Causes without identifiable cause.
  • Typically affects people of age 60 and older.
  1. Hereditary CJD:
  • Due to genetic mutations 
  • 10-15% of cases.
  • Inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
  1. Acquired CJD:
  • Includes iatrogenic CJD from medical treatments and variant CJD (vCJD), which is linked to BSE mad cow disease-contaminated beef.

CREUTZFELDT JAKOB DISEASE CAUSE​​

Prions cause CJD,  misfolded protein results that cause normal brain proteins to fold abnormally. Unlike bacteria or viruses, prions contain no DNA or RNA; hence they are hard to target.

CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB DISEASE SYMPTOMS

CJD advances rapidly, and symptoms often include:

Early stages:

memory loss

personality changes

poor coordination

Later stages:

Extreme dementia

Muscle rigidity and spasms

Vision problems

Speech or swallowing problems

CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB DISEASE EEG

In sporadic CJD (sCJD):

  • Classic finding: presence of periodic sharp wave complexes (PSWC).
  • These periodic waves appear recurrently every 1-2 seconds and appear in about 60-80% of cases of sCJD.

In variant CJD (vCJD)

  • EEG findings: much less specific and usually PSWC is not found.
