Overview

Electroencephalography

• EEG findings are not diagnostic of CJD, but may help in the diagnosis of CJD.
• Periodic synchronous discharges (PSDs) occur either before or in synchronicity with myoclonus.
• Typical EEG findings in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease include periodic biphasic or triphasic sharp wave complexes (PSWCs).
• Periodic sharp wave complexes can differentiate sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease‬ (present waves) from familial and variant types of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease‬ and other prion diseases (absent waves).
