1. Figure 2Figure 2. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results for a US patient with variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. T1 sequence (A) and T2 FLAIR sequence (B) show the “pulvinar” or “hockey stick” sign (arrowhead). Initial diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) (C) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) (D) images show subtle restricted diffusion in the right primary motor cortex (arrows). Subsequent MRIs show increasing hyperintensity (arrows) on DWI (E, then G) and further attenuation (arrows) on ADC (F, then H), consistent with the “cortical ribbon” sign.Maheshwari A, Fischer M, Gambetti P, Parker A, Ram A, Soto C, et al.
