Spongiform encephalopathy is a group of rare, fatal neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the formation of sponge-like holes in the brain tissue, leading to progressive neurological dysfunction and ultimately, death. These disorders are associated with the accumulation of abnormal prion proteins that cause the brain to degenerate in a sponge-like pattern.
