A 64-year-old female with three months of progressive functional decline, failure to thrive, and weakness. Diffusion-weighted imaging (a) demonstrates hyperintensity in the right caudate head and lentiform nucleus (arrow) and the bilateral thalami with an L-shaped or “hockey stick” configuration (asterisks). Fluorodeoxyglucose PET/MRI (b) demonstrates corresponding asymmetric hypometabolism in the right lentiform nucleus (arrow) and bilateral thalami (asterisks). Cerebrospinal fluid 14-3-3 protein was positive and pathological examination of the brain was consistent with CJD
