Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is the only form of prion diseases linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). The surgical and anaesthetic management in patients having Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is rare. Maternofoetal and human transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is still unknown. The principles for managing these new risks are not described in obstetric recommendations. We report the case of an 18-year-old woman, who developed the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease during her pregnancy.
