| pubmed:abstractText |
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.
