  • Title: Myoclonus in Alzheimer disease. A confusing sign.
    Author: Faden AI, Townsend JJ.
    Journal: Arch Neurol; 1976 Apr; 33(4):278-80. PubMed ID: 769761.
    Abstract:
    Myoclonus in association with dementia of later adult life has been considered almost pathognomonic of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. However, myoclonus may also be seen with Alzheimer disease, and when the myoclonus occurs as an early manifestation of Alzheimer disease, distinction from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease may prove difficult.
