AB  - Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is the most common transmissible human spongiform 
      encephalopathy. Seizures and status epilepticus (SE) are an uncommon finding in 
      CJD. We report a 64-year-old woman with rapid cognitive decline who had 
      electroencephalographic (EEG) changes suggestive of nonconvulsive status 
      epilepticus (NCSE). She was later diagnosed with sporadic CJD (sCJD). We also 
      reviewed the literature for published cases on this topic. MEDLINE was employed 
      to identify all published reports of CJD and SE. We identified 8 references with 
      a total of 12 cases with CJD and NCSE. sCJD should be considered in the 
      differential diagnosis of any patient who presents with rapid cognitive decline 
      and EEG changes consistent with status epilepticus.
