Other Diagnostic Studies
- Genetic testing
- Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is suggested in some cases
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) may be used to diagnose Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or underlying metabolic/toxic disorders
- Lumber puncture
- Brain biopsy
- Positron emission tomography (PET)[1] [2]
- Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
- VDRL
- HIV testing
