Abnormal 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 functioning of a thalamocortical system deafferented by brainstem dysfunction and a lesser degree of cortical dysfunction.
异常的异位节律，如α-θ活动和纺锤波，出现在昏迷患者中。本文报告了一例昏迷患者的脑电图显示α-θ模式活动和纺锤波共存的病例。得出的结论是，昏迷患者脑电图中这些节律模式的共存意味着由脑干功能障碍导致传入神经阻滞的丘脑皮质系统仍在持续发挥生理功能，且皮质功能障碍程度较轻。
