Sažetak
This case report describes a patient aged 56 who presented with vertigo, dystaxia, transitori vision disturbance and left-sided hemiparesis. After one month, the patients condition worsened with rapidly progressive dementia, myoclonus of hands and face, trunk and extremities ataxia, motor weakness, loss of intellectual functions and speech ability, and blindness.Repeated EEG pattern in different disease stages showed progressive slowing of brain rhythm and paroxysmal spike wave complex of high voltage that started unilaterally but finally presented bilaterally, and characteristic rhythmic triphasic sharp wave activity. Specific tests of cerebrospinal fluid were highly positive for NSE, tau protein, 14- 3-3 and S-100. The patient died 3 months of the symptom onset.
