Objective assessment of residual cognitive function can be extremely difficult as motor responses may be minimal, inconsistent,...
A woman suffered from massive blunt injuries in a motor vehicle accident at a presumed 4 weeks' gestation, but she successfully carried the fetus for an additional 29 weeks. Premature labor began at 33 weeks' gestation and a live 1,890 g male was delivered. His development was normal for the 12-months postnatal follow-up period. The patient remained in a persistent vegetative state. Only 12 cas...
Objectives: The problem of the possibility for treatment of patients in vegetative state remains grossly unresolved, and Dorsal Column Stimulation (DCS) seemed promising in some studies, requiring further attention. Material and Method: A prospective controlled study for 20 consecutive years (1986-2005) was performed on the effect of DCS in 214 patients in persistent vegetative state, resulting...
The aim of the project was to survey the hospital prevalence of apallic syndrome in a federal state in Austria at an exact point in time.

The central element was a questionnaire, which provided an exact recording of the patients' condition. An additional preliminary task was to check all the disc...
Persistent vegetative state after severe brain damage was studied epidemiologically in 110 cases from 1973 to 1976. The causes of brain damage were varied. More than one-third of the cases were due to trauma, and about one-fifth were the result of vascular accidents. Three year observation revealed that 65% of the patients died during this period. Mean survival time for dead patients was 38 mon...
