Doubts regarding this rare but fatal diagnosis can arise, when episodic symptoms (seizures, psychiatric features, speech disturbances) are present and the EEG shows epileptiform discharges within this periodicity. This scenario may indicate non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), which is - in contrast to sCJD - a treatable and frequent condition.Herein we report a small retrospective study of 4 elderly patients, who suffered from sCJD, but due to episodic symptoms and benzodiazepine-responsive epileptiform discharges in combination to a subacute cognitive decline, NCSE was considered as a potential differential diagnosis and therefore treated aggressively.Ultimately, this treatment was not successful and sCJD was diagnosed in all cases. Hence, there was no diagnostic and prognostic value of abolishing periodic discharges in EEG via benzodiazepines in differentiating sCJD from NCSE in our series.These findings indicate that periodic discharges in sCJD can be responsive to benzodiazepines andnot necessarily help to differentiate differentiation between sCJD and NCSE of other causes. We argue that an aggressive anticonvulsive treatment in this scenario should be considered cautiously, especially for invasive options like general anesthesia. 000139709 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-345$$a345 - Population Studies and Genetics (POF3-345)$$cPOF3-345$$fPOF III$$x0 000139709 542__ $$2Crossref$$i2017-12-01$$uhttps://www.elsevier.com/tdm/userlicense/1.0/ 000139709 542__ $$2Crossref$$i2018-12-01$$uhttp://www.elsevier.com/open-access/userlicense/1.0/ 000139709 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, 000139709 650_7 $$012794-10-4$$2NLM Chemicals$$aBenzodiazepines 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAged 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aBenzodiazepines: administration & dosage 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aBenzodiazepines: pharmacology 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCognitive Dysfunction: diagnosis 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aCreutzfeldt-Jakob Syndrome: diagnosis 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aDiagnosis, Differential 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aElectroencephalography: methods 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aFemale 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHumans 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMale 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aRetrospective Studies 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aStatus Epilepticus: diagnosis 000139709 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aStatus Epilepticus: drug therapy 000139709 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aKnake, Susanne$$b1 000139709 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aStrzelczyk, Adam$$b2 000139709 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aSteinhoff, Bernhard J$$b3 000139709 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLerche, Holger$$b4 000139709 7001_ $$0P:(DE-2719)2811275$$aSynofzik, Matthis$$b5$$udzne 000139709 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aFocke, Niels K$$b6 000139709 77318 $$2Crossref$$3journal-article$$a10.1016/j.seizure.2017.10.023$$b : Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01$$p47-50$$tSeizure$$v53$$x1059-1311$$y2017 000139709 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2002585-3$$a10.1016/j.seizure.2017.10.023$$gVol. 53, p. 47 - 50$$p47-50$$q53<47 - 50$$tSeizure$$v53$$x1059-1311$$y2017 000139709 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/139709/files/DZNE-2020-06031_Restricted.pdf 000139709 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/139709/files/DZNE-2020-06031_Restricted.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa 000139709 909CO $$ooai:pub.dzne.de:139709$$pVDB 000139709 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588)1065079516$$6P:(DE-2719)2811275$$aDeutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen$$b5$$kDZNE 000139709 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-345$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-340$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lErkrankungen des Nervensystems$$vPopulation Studies and Genetics$$x0 000139709 9141_ $$y2017 000139709 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz$$d2022-11-29$$wger 000139709 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2022-11-29 000139709 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2022-11-29 000139709 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2022-11-29 000139709 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine$$d2022-11-29 000139709 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bSEIZURE-EUR J EPILEP : 2021$$d2022-11-29 000139709 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2022-11-29 000139709 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2022-11-29 000139709 9201_ $$0I:(DE-2719)1210000$$kAG Gasser$$lParkinson Genetics$$x0 000139709 980__ $$ajournal 000139709 980__ $$aVDB 000139709 980__ $$aI:(DE-2719)1210000 000139709 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
