Consistent with [Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Prion Disease] [specifier(s)]. Following a rapidly progressive course, there has been evidence of marked cognitive decline from a previous level of functioning involving complex attention; executive function; learning and memory; language; perceptual-motor function; social cognition, forming a pattern characteristic of prion-related neurodegeneration. The presentation is further characterised by a rapidly progressive and often fulminant course, with associated neurological features such as myoclonus, ataxia, visual disturbance, extrapyramidal features, or akinetic mutism, and aetiological evidence consistent with prion disease, with symptoms not occurring exclusively in the context of delirium. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant cognitive impairment with loss of independence in everyday functioning.
