Abstract

Purpose

To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), analyze its sleep disorder characteristics using polysomnography (PSG), and compare sleep disturbances with those of fatal familial insomnia (FFI).

Patients and methods

We retrospectively reviewed the sleep disturbances; cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein 14-3-3 (CSF-14-3-3 protein); prion protein gene, PRNP; magnetic resonance imaging; and electroencephalogram (EEG) of nine sCJD patients

Results

Of the nine sCJD patients, six were positive for CSF-14-3-3 protein. In the eight patients who completed diffusion-weighted imaging, seven showed cortical “ribbons sign” and two showed high signal in the basal ganglia. All nine patients had an EEG, which showed an increase in background slow waves; moreover, four showed typical periodic sharp wave complexes. The codon diversity at position 129, 219 of nine patients were MM, EE. Almost all nine patients had sleep disturbances such as insomnia, hypersomnia, and periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD). Five patients completed PSG, which demonstrated severe sleep structure disorder, prolonged total waking time, significantly reduced sleep efficiency, and absent rapid eye movement in some severe patients.

Conclusion

Sleep disturbances are common in sCJD patients, manifested as insomnia, lethargy, and PLMD. The sCJD patients often demonstrate severe sleep structure disorder through PSG, which is similar to patients with FFI.
