title: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: focal symmetrical cortical involvement demonstrated by MR imaging.
abstract: The authors present two biopsy-proved cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. MR appears to be more sensitive than CT in detecting pathologic changes; signal abnormalities, when found, are predominantly within gray matter and may involve only peripheral cortex.
