===Egyptian man, 2011, Netherlands===
[[File:FFI timeline.svg|thumb|Timeline of an FFI patient (same as the one above this one)]]
In 2011, the first reported case in the Netherlands was of a 57-year-old man of Egyptian descent. The man came in with symptoms of double vision and progressive memory loss, and his family also noted he had recently become disoriented, paranoid and confused. Whilst he tended to fall asleep at random during daily activities, he experienced vivid dreams and random muscular jerks during normal slow-wave sleep. After four months of these symptoms, he began to have convulsions in his hands, trunk and lower limbs while awake. The person died at age 58, seven months after the onset of symptoms. An [[autopsy]] revealed mild [[atrophy]] of the frontal cortex and moderate atrophy of the [[thalamus]]. The latter is one of the most common signs of FFI.<ref name="Jansen et al.">{{cite journal | vauthors = Jansen C, Parchi P, Jelles B, Gouw AA, Beunders G, van Spaendonk RM, van de Kamp JM, Lemstra AW, Capellari S, Rozemuller AJ | title = The first case of fatal familial insomnia (FFI) in the Netherlands: a patient from Egyptian descent with concurrent four repeat tau deposits | journal = Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology | volume = 37 | issue = 5 | pages = 549–553 | date = August 2011 | pmid = 20874730 | doi = 10.1111/j.1365-2990.2010.01126.x | s2cid = 30722366 }}</ref>
