[Posttraumatic vegetative status: clinical picture, diagnosis, and potentialities of treatment]
Abstract
Based on the results of treatment in 167 patients with severe brain injury, the authors estimated the immediate outcomes of the injury within 4 months. In particular, the regularities and frequency of formation of the traumatic vegetative status were established. The specific MRI signs are described in this condition. Its new treatment by transliquor electrostimulation of the brain stem is proposed.
