Correlating diffusion-weighted MRI intensity with type 2 pathology in mixed MM-type sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

In this study, we attempted to clinically predict the concurrence of MM-type sCJD with another PrPSc type in the same individual. We retrospectively identified seven MM-type sCJD cases with both fine vacuole-type spongiform (FV) and large confluent vacuole-type spongiform change (LCV) among 49 sCJD cases.
