AB Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and CT of three patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) showed bilateral cortical atrophy and no apparent white matter changes. Serial examinations revealed the progressive nature of the atrophy, findings compatible with the patients' clinical deterioration. At autopsy some white matter abnormalities were detected in one patient 6 months after MR imaging. The available data suggest that the white matter abnormalities, if present, develop during the final stage of CJD.
