“…In Jacob-Creutzfeldt's disease, an abnormal 'EEG is usually found which in many cases attains specific features with rhythmic trains of bilateral synchronous sharp-waves on high voltage polyphasic complexes. These complexes may, especially in later stages, be associated with myoclonic jerks, not always synchronously though (Jones & Nevin 1954, Nevin 1967, May 1968, Burger et al 1972, Elliot et al 1974, Caches 1974. In a small number of patients, a normal EEG has been seen even in the terminal stage (Fattovich 1960).…”
