Abstract
Unlike sCJD, the mean age of vCJD is 29,3 and 60% to 65% of patients have psychiatric symptoms, such as depression, apathy, anxiety, social withdrawal, and agitation as initial presentation.4-6 In addition, patients with vCJD can develop sensory abnormalities without having any other abnormal findings. Fortunately, vCJD has not been reported in South Korea yet. In this article, we report a case of probable sCJD with extrapyramidal symptoms as the main symptom, rather than a cognitive decline.
