A case of primary CNS angiitis thought to be sCJD |
I discuss issues pertaining to the practice of neuropathology -- including nervous system tumors, neuroanatomy, neurodegenerative disease, muscle and nerve disorders, ophthalmologic pathology, neuro trivia, neuropathology gossip, job listings and anything else that might be of interest to a blue-collar neuropathologist.

RT QUIC screening is here. What is the delay in getting it to the patient bedside for diagnostic purposes? It would likely eliminate the tragic, serious misdiagnosis phenomenon identified at autopsy by NPDPSC practioners whose primary focus has been looking at brain tissue this past decade. Had the NPDPSC been reviewing charts; interviewing family members and asking more than 3 questions on their intake questionnaire perhaps they would uncover a common early treatment link on the MAR that could readily make some neurodegenerative cases mimic the timeline and decline of a CJD case. In addition, this type of early, sensitive testing would support the earliest MRI findings: enabling the verification and pushing back the ability of neurodiagnostic imagers to look for even earlier evidence. RT QUIC--an answer to so many problems and dilemmas.
