The main ocular symptoms were initial bilateral deteriorated visual acuity and final blindness. Due to a very low prevalence, non-specific symptoms and rapid course, making a quick and accurate diagnosis can be challenging. Vision impairment may occur in about 10% of patients with a sporadic form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease at the time of diagnosis and 50% during the disease. So far, no effective treatment has been found. The death of our patient occurred 9 weeks after the first symptoms. %A Linke, Anna %A Cisiecki, Sławomir %A Bonińska, Karolina %A Bednarski, Maciej %P 72-77 %9 journal article %R 10.5114/ko.2020.95317 %U http://dx.doi.org/10.5114/ko.2020.95317
