2019 ◽
pp. 326-378
This chapter presents a diagnostic and management outline to approach commonly encountered conditions associated unconsciousness. Once the specific cause is identified, attention should turn to dealing with the set of problems inherent to the underlying disorder. As it is not possible to cover all aspects of treatment of all possible causes of stupor and coma comprehensively, this chapter focuses instead on the management of frequently encountered pathologies within each of the main categorical clinical diagnoses: supratentorial or infratentorial compressive lesions; supratentorial or infratentorial destructive lesions; metabolic, diffuse, or multifocal coma. Management of psychogenic coma is discussed in Chapter 6.
