| Abstract: | The case of a 57-year old man is reported who had been operated upon for cerebellar angioblastoma more than 19 years previously. Having received a lyophilized dural patch he developed Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease of which he died 19 months later. This is the longest latency with dura-associated Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease reported so far. |
