The electroencephalographic (EEG) findings observed in nine patients with post-anoxic myoclonic encephalopathy are reported. The tracings showed typical myoclonus potential in some, and characteristic diffuse brain injury in others. In two of our cases the spike and wave complex was faster than in the others. Our EEG tracings are similar to those studied by Gastaut and Rémond in 1952.
