Abstract

Abstract : We report a case of rapidly evolving neurological disease in a patient with neuropathological lesions of Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), chronic subcortical vascular encephalopathy and meningothelial meningioma. The coexistence of severe multiple pathologies in a single patient strengthens the need to perform accurate clinical differential diagnoses in rapidly progressive dementias.
