AB A case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease of cerebellar type is reported. In this case the cerebellar cortex exhibited classical Kuru-plaques. From a comparison of this finding with 50 cerebella from senile patients and patients with cerebellar atrophies it is concluded that the Kuru-plaque is specific for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, possible even for its cerebellar variant.
