Abstract
- The periodic sharp wave complexes are the most characteristic EEG abnormalities in sCJD. We report the serial EEG findings in a patient with probable sCJD. The initial EEG showed diffuse theta and delta slowings only. However, it changed to the typical periodic sharp wave complexes according to the worsening clinical state. These changes occurred during a short-term interval. The serial EEGs within the short-term interval will be helpful for the earlier diagnosis of sCJD.
