Coexisting Alpha Pattern Coma, Theta Pattern Coma and Spindle Coma
Clinical Electroencephalography, 1987Abnormal ectopic rhythms, such as alpha-theta activities and spindles, occur in comatose patients. A case is presented in which the EEG of a comatose patient showed coexisting alpha-theta pattern activities and spindles. It is concluded that the coexistence of these rhythmic patterns in the EEG of a comatose patient implies continued physiologic ...

The preceding discussion is an attempt to stress anatomy in the diagnosis of coma. By localizing the offending lesion, the physician can apply the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic measures more adeptly. Because physicians are also frequently asked to prognosticate, I have tried to summarize the work of Plum and Posner in their study of the ...

An acutely comatose patient constitutes a medical emergency until proved otherwise. Managing these emergencies requires organized teamwork to recognize and treat life-threatening situations and reversible causes of coma. Once vital functions have been stabilized, information from the history and physical examination should be used to rationally guide ...

Coma is a state of unarousable unconsciousness due to dysfunction of the brain's ascending reticular activating system (ARAS), which is responsible for arousal and the maintenance of wakefulness. Anatomically and physiologically the ARAS has a redundancy of pathways and neurotransmitters; this may explain why coma is usually transient (seldom lasting ...

Myxedema coma is the term given to the most severe presentation of profound hypothyroidism and is often fatal in spite of therapy. Decompensation of the hypothyroid patient into a coma may be precipitated by a number of drugs, systemic illnesses (eg, pneumonia), and other causes.

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1979
Three cases of profound hypothyroidism, 2 of whom lapsed into myxoedema coma are reported. All 3 cases presented over a 5 week period. Modern management, especially the use of intensive care, has improved the outcome. All 3 cases survived. Treated hypothyroid patients frequently discontinue their medicines and constitute the majority of patients ...

Abstract. Myxoedema coma is a medical emergency, which must be treated immediately. Otherwise the mortality is high. It is important to administer L‐triiodothyronine and corticosteroids early. If hypoventilation occurs, artificial respiration may be necessary.

AbstractA patient with Graves' disease was in coma with evidence of corticospinal tract disease. Treatment with standard pharmacological measures and plasmapheresis resulted in the reduction of total thyroxine from 28.8 μg/ dl to 10.0 μg/dl and of triiodothyronine from 332 ng/dl to 150 ng/dl.

A 25-year-old man was found comatose in a park in August, 1993, and was taken to hospital by the fire department. He was hypotensive and could not follow commands, although localising neurological findings were absent. His heart rate varied between 30 and 250 beats per min. Intravenous lines were placed and the patient was taken to intensive care.

By order of the Head Injuries Committee of the W.F.N.S. the author and his coworkers give definitions of consciousness, clouding of consciouness and unconciousness or coma. Furthermore, they suggest a definition of the termination of unconsciousness, with particular reference to the transition into a stage of clouding of consciousness.
