          Abstract

          É apresentado o caso de paciente de 53 anos de idade com quadro de rebaixamento mental e comprometimento piramidal, com evolução progressiva até mutismo acinético em 6 meses de evolução. Um pneumencefalograma mostrou aumento simétrico do sistema ventricular. Uma biópsia cerebral permitiu encontrar alterações neuronais, gliose e estado espongioso que permitiram classificar o caso como de moléstia de Creutzfeldt-Jakob. São discutidos os achados eletromicroscópicos.

          Translated abstract

          The case of a patient 53 years old that had a picture of cortical impairment and pyramidal disfunction, leading in 6 months to acinetic mutism is reported. The histopathology lead to the diagnostic of Creutzeldt-Jakob disease, with neuronal loss, gliosis and status spongiosus. The electron-microscopic examination showed that the status spongiosus was due to cellular processes, some having vesicular bodies sugestive of pre-synaptic vesicles.
