Key Points

• Diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease revealed in patients initially suspected of stroke, highlighting the disease's atypical presentation.
• Key evidence shows that timely identification of CJD improves patient management and potential outcomes in affected individuals.
• Analysis of clinical cases was performed in emergency settings to differentiate CJD from traditional stroke presentations and symptoms.
• Recognizing the variance in neurological symptoms may enable better detection of CJD; further studies could support these findings.
