A patient with dura-associated Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (D-CJD) which occurred about 15 years after a dura mater graft is reported in the present study. The prion protein gene analysis disclosed no mutation. The D-CJD was atypical in: (i), the long interval between the onset of ataxia and the occurrence of dementia; (ii), the presence of transient myoclonus; and (iii), the presence of florid plaques in the brain. The electron-microscopic findings showed bundles of amyloid filaments which radiated from the center of the plaques without degenerating neurites. This case of D-CJD may belong to a new subtype of D-CJD.
