Here, we present 76-year-old woman, who presented with a history of quadriparesis from three years ago, initially in the lower extremities and ascended towards the upper extremities (symmetrical and progressive). Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral thalamic lesions (Figure 1), which could identify it as a variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

AbstractThis report refers to a rare case of a patient with suspected prion disease and the steps taken for the infection control measures in postsurgical management of a large sphenoid wing meningioma. Stringent measures are needed to prevent the transmission of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) to other patients or healthcare workers. The main concern, especially in a neurosurgical case, is the handling of highly infective tissue and hence the higher risk of disease transmission. This report provides guidance based on the experience in this case, as an aid to similar surgeries.

Visual Disturbances

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the most common disorder among the very rare human transmissible subacute spongiform encephalopathies. Sporadic, familial or iatrogenic forms of the disease can be seen. The common presentations of the disease include rapidly progressive cognitive decline, behavioral changes, visual disturbances and cerebellar dysfunction. Hyperparathyroidism and toxicity of lithium and bismuth have been reported to induce similar symptoms and EEG findings, leading to a Creutzfeldt-Jakob like syndrome. We report a very rare case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease presenting with hyperparathyroidism and generalized tonic status epilepticus.

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
