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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Six personal cases of alpha coma are reported: 3 following a cerebrovascular accident and 3 resulting from cerebral concussion. Two patients survived. On the basis of differences in pathogenesis, EEG characteristics and prognosis, the following classification is proposed: alpha coma resulting from brain stem vascular accident; cerebral concussion ...

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.
