  • Title: Periodic EEG discharges and status spongiosus of the cerebral cortex in anoxic encephalopathy: a necropsy case report.
    Author: Kuroiwa Y, Celesia GG, Chung HD.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1982 Aug; 45(8):740-2. PubMed ID: 6752347.
    Abstract:
    A periodic EEG pattern very similar to the changes in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was seen in a case of anoxic encephalopathy. Necropsy revealed status spongiosus of the cerebral cortex. Generalised repetitive sharp transients in anoxic encephalopathy occur when the patient is comatose and carry a poor prognosis. They are not specific for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
