    Author: Supino-Viterbo V, Sicard C, Risvegliato M, Rancurel G, Buge A.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1977 Aug; 40(8):748-52. PubMed ID: 336849.
    Abstract:
    Forty-five patients taking bismuth subnitrate orally for therapeutic reasons were admitted to hospital with a myoclonic encephalopathy of acute onset. The clinical features were similar, mostly with mental confusion, disorder of walking and standing, dysarthria, and myoclonic jerks. In 31 cases the EEG showed a characteristic pattern, not previously recognised, which assisted differential diagnosis.
