A Case of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Presenting as Conversion Disorder.

Still, few other cases in the literature report functional neurological symptoms as an initial sign. The consultation psychiatrist must remain alert to changing clinical symptoms, especially with uncharacteristic disease presentations. PMID: 28553554 [PubMed]
