In this video, we discuss a case study of a patient who was diagnosed with the Heidenhain variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). This is a neurodegenerative condition in which misfolded cellular prion proteins cause other healthy proteins to misfold, leading to neuronal death.

CJD is one of the most lethal neurodegenerative illnesses, and its symptoms are quite heterogeneous. Despite this hetereogeneity, this case study is quite unique and remarkable, given the unique set of symptoms that the patient experienced.

USE OF STOCK IMAGES AND VIDEOS
Occasionally we make use of stock images and videos (pixabay.com or pexels.com). We use these to make our videos more lively (better than looking at a blank screen). These stock videos should not be taken as an exact scientific reflection of the discussed content. In some cases they are not fully accurate. We try to have a high viewing pleasure, while at the same time create as little confusion as possible. Thus we aim to only use them when it is clear that they are not directly related to the discussed content.
