Cerebral processing in the minimally conscious state.
We studied a patient in a minimally conscious state using PET and cognitive evoked potentials. Cerebral metabolism was below half of normal values. Auditory stimuli with emotional valence (infant cries and the patient's own name) induced a much more widespread activation than did meaningless noise; the activation pattern was comparable with that previously obtained in controls. Cognitive potent...
متن کاملEmotion processing in the minimally conscious state.
As a newly described condition distinct from coma or the vegetative state, minimally conscious state (MCS) is characterised by a threshold level of consciousness, and diagnostic criteria have recently been proposed. 1 In MCS, cognitively mediated behaviour occurs inconsistently, but is reproducible or sustained enough to be differentiated from reflexive behaviour. It is clinically essential to ...
متن کاملMycoplasma-induced minimally conscious state
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) frequently causes community-acquired respiratory tract infection and often presents as atypical pneumonia. Following airborne infection and a long incubation period, affected patients mostly suffer from mild or even asymptomatic and self-limiting disease. In particular in school-aged children, M. pneumoniae is associated with a wide range of extrapulmonary ...
متن کاملCerebral Function in Coma, Vegetative State, Minimally Conscious State, Locked-in Syndrome, and Brain Death
Progress in intensive care has increased the number of patients who survive severe acute brain injury. The majority of these patients recover from their coma within the first days after the insult, others will take more time and go through different stages before fully or partially recovering awareness (e.g., minimally conscious state, vegetative state) or will permanently lose all brain functi...
متن کاملThe Minimally Conscious State: Neuroimaging and Regeneration*
The minimally conscious state (MCS) is a clinical manifestation of severe brain injury. While there are no evidence-based criteria, diagnostic guidelines were reached in a series of consensus development workshops [1]. The differential diagnosis of the minimally conscious state is important and includes the vegetative state (transient, persistent and permanent), coma and the locked-in syndrome ...
