A 63-year-old woman presented with a comatose state after a fall. Results of cranial computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were normal. An EEG recorded 5 h after admission was very severely attenuated and slowed. Consciousness and EEG were improved the next day. No cause was detected initially. After sleep deprivation, the patient had a generalized seizure followed by a similar coma and EEG. Even a single seizure may cause a prolonged coma with a very severely attenuated and slowed EEG.
一名63岁女性在跌倒后出现昏迷状态。头颅计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)检查结果均正常。入院5小时后记录的脑电图(EEG)显示极度衰减且变慢。第二天意识和脑电图有所改善。最初未检测到病因。睡眠剥夺后,患者发生全身性癫痫发作,随后出现类似的昏迷和脑电图表现。即使单次癫痫发作也可能导致长时间昏迷,并伴有脑电图极度衰减和变慢。
