AbstractA 78-year-old man was admitted in the intensive care unit for epilepsy seizure (tonic-clonic seizure). Since three months, his wife reports motor dysfunction (weakness) and since two weeks, rapidly progressive changes in cognition (apraxia, akinetic mutism). The diagnosis of probable sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob on the basis of clinical, EEG and MRI lesions was made. Refining diagnostic criteria is probably needed, including the usefulness of repeated MRI with FLAIR and diffusion-weighted imaging.Copyright © 2014 Société française d’anesthésie et de réanimation (Sfar).
