Figure 58.

Periodic sharp wave complexes in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Generalized periodic sharp waves are seen in a 65-year-old man with rapidly evolving dementia and myoclonus later proven to have CJD. Longitudinal bipolar montage. This recording was obtained 3 weeks after symptom onset. The waveforms in this patient are most prominent over the right hemispheric region, which correlated with the patient's MRI findings and are triphasic in morphology. Copyright 2013.
