| Popis: | A 29-year-old woman presented with 1 year of cognitive and functional decline. She had resided in the Netherlands in the 1990s, and had no relevant family history. Twelve months prior to presentation, her family noted that she seemed apathetic. She developed daytime fatigue and was in an automobile accident attributed to sleepiness. Over 1 month, she developed difficulty with job-related tasks, episodic slurred speech, intermittent diplopia, insomnia, delusions, hallucinations, and difficulty in navigating familiar driving routes. |
