  ABSTRACT: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare but fatal neurodegenerative prion disease. Classic CJD comprises a clinical triad of rapidly progressive dementia, myoclonus, and EEG abnormality. At initial presentation, this classic triad is present only in a minority of cases. Visual impairment is one of the predominant manifestations in the course of CJD, especially in Heidenhain variant phenotype. We reported a case presenting with progressive blurred vision, along with other neurological symptoms, who diagnosed as sporadic CJD with cortical blindness in China.
