AB Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is increasingly being reported in the last three decades as a result of increased awareness for the disease. Various studies have reported an annual incidence of 0.5-1.5 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease per million of general population. However, in our country, like other developing countries, the disease is still under-reported. Herewith, we described our clinical experience with an autopsy-proven case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
