MRI, EEG, brain ¹⁸F-FDG-PET, and CSF tau results/values of patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in 2015

Patient ID	MRI	EEG	Brain ¹⁸F-FDG-PET	CSF tau, pg/mL
#1	FLAIR/DWI hyperintense right frontal cortex, bilateral gyri cinguli, bilateral caudate nuclei, and right anterior putamen; performed twice in 20 days; clear progression	Typical (PSWC)	Hypometabolism in right frontal and posterior parietal cortices as well as the cerebellum; hypermetabolism in basal ganglia	2,280

#2	FLAIR/DWI hyperintense right frontal operculum and right insular cortex; performed twice in 26 days; clear progression	Typical (PSWC)	Hypometabolism in cortex of right hemisphere and right basal ganglia	2,500

#3	FLAIR/DWI hyperintense left caudate nucleus, putamen, insular cortex, left frontal operculum, and bilateral limbic cortices; performed twice in 8 days; no progression	Typical (PSWC)	Hypometabolism in left parietal and frontal cortices and left putamen	2,270

#4^a	FLAIR/DWI hyperintense caudate nuclei, putamina, thalami, and limbic cortices bilaterally; performed twice in 23 days; clear progression	Not typical (progressive encephalopathy with slow activity)	Pronounced hypometabolism in basal ganglia bilaterally and cortex of the left hemisphere	2,280

#5	FLAIR/DWI hyperintense caudate nucleus, putamen, and thalamus; cortical ribboning	Typical (PSWC)	N/A	2,270

#6	FLAIR/DWI hyperintense bilateral caudate nuclei, putamina, cingulate gyri, and insular cortices; right temporal, frontal in the parietal cortex	N/A	N/A	N/A

#7	FLAIR/DWI asymmetrical hyperintense bilateral temporal, frontal, occipital, and parietal cortices, cingulate gyri bilaterally, and caudate nuclei bilaterally; putamina less evident; performed twice, clear progression	N/A	N/A	N/A

#8	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A

#9	DWI hyperintense bilateral temporal cortices and right parietal cortex; no FLAIR changes	N/A	N/A	N/A

CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; N/A, not available; FLAIR, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery; DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; PSWC, periodic sharp wave complexes.

Patient died in 2016, not included in the 2015 incidence.
