The differential diagnosis for the comatose patient is includes structural abnormality, seizure, encephalitis, metabolic derangements, and toxicologic etiologies. Identifying and treating the underlying pathology in a timely manner is critical for the patient's outcome.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Publisher Summary Coma is an important and common clinical problem in pediatric practice. The comatose state in children results from trauma or a wide variety of nontraumatic causes. It is clinically useful to classify causes into (1) those generally associated with structural changes in the brain and (2) those with predominant metabolic dysfunction.

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.

Coma is defined as a state of extreme unresponsiveness, in which a person exhibits no voluntary movement or behavior even to painful stimuli. The utilization of EEG for patients in coma has increased dramatically over the last few years. In fact, many institutions have set protocols for continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring for patients in coma due to ...

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.

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 ...

Applied Optics, 1988
The oblique focusing defect of spherical lenses, known as coma, is described by Seidel as the second of five correction terms (third order) to the Gauss theory. The concept is clear for a refracting surface that is free of spherical aberration; however, the impossibility of eliminating spherical aberration from a single lens with spherical surfaces can
