Two cases of deep alpha frequency coma after unsuccessful hanging attempts are reported. Studies were conducted after similar cases in which vascular or traumatic brain stem lesions were at the origin of the coma, and in those secondary to cardiorespiratory arrest. A review of the EEG findings in cases reported in the published literature showed that these were more similar to cases with cardiorespiratory arrest than to those following brain stem lesions, in spite of the existence of angiographic anomalies observed in the vertebral arteries. The differential diagnosis and the prognostic value of the electroclinical picture are discussed, as well as the physiopathogenicity, which remains obscure.
本文报告了两例绞杀未遂后出现深度阿尔法频率昏迷的病例。此前有类似病例，其昏迷原因是血管性或创伤性脑干病变，以及继发于心肺骤停。对已发表文献中报告病例的脑电图结果进行回顾发现，尽管椎动脉存在血管造影异常，但这些结果与心肺骤停病例更相似，而非与脑干病变后病例相似。本文讨论了电临床图像的鉴别诊断和预后价值，以及仍不清楚的生理致病性。
