Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by the accumulation of abnormal prion proteins in the brain. While CJD has some typical clinical features, its presentation can be quite heterogeneous, particularly in the early stages of the disease, posing challenges in diagnosis. Atypical manifestations of CJD can mimic various neurodegenerative disorders, including atypical parkinsonisms. In this case report, we present an 81-year-old man who exhibited an atypical clinical presentation of sporadic CJD, initially resembling progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). The patient presented with symmetric parkinsonism, postural instability, and ocular motor dysfunction, accompanied by rapid clinical deterioration. Alongside the case report, we also provide a review of the literature on atypical presentations of CJD as PSP, highlighting the importance of recognizing these manifestations in clinical practice.
