description BACKGROUND: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare prion disease characterized by rapidly progressive dementia. CASE REPORT: A 76-year-old woman exhibited pronounced signs and symptoms of dressing apraxia for about seven weeks before the disease progressed and probable CJD was diagnosed supported by imaging and CSF findings. DISCUSSION: Dressing apraxia as the initial manifestation of CJD has been sparsely reported. This remarkably focal syndrome should be considered with view on movement and neuropsychological disorders in early CJD.
