Presentation
[…] that in our case the presentation with catatonic stupor may be related to impairment of the cortical GABAergic inhibitory system. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abnormal Breathing
Stupor can cause the following physical symptoms in addition to mental symptoms: abnormal breathing, such as breathing too slow or fast muscles contracted in abnormal ways pupils that are wider or smaller than normal pupils that don’t react or change [healthline.com]

Akinesia
This patient, with a preexisting diagnosis of autism, posturing, nonverbal communication, and contracture of lower extremities, displaying mutism, akinesia, and an extreme level of rigidity, waxy flexibility, and posturing, was diagnosed as with catatonic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
On Day 5, as part of our workup for non-convulsive epilepsy, a trial of intravenous diazepam (5 mg) was given. Remarkably the patient became completely alert (GCS 15/15), albeit briefly ( 5 min) after which he reverted back to stupor. [academic.oup.com]
Nonetheless, concern has been raised more recently about an increase that has since been observed in the severity of asthma symptoms and the need for more intensive care management. [3] (See Prognosis, Workup, Treatment, and Medication.) [emedicine.medscape.com]
EEG

Triphasic Waves
Her electroencephalogram (EEG) showed bilaterally synchronous runs of three-phase waves consistent with the triphasic waves typically seen in metabolic encephalopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

PLED Bilaterally
Several EEG patterns and their interpretation in suspected cases of NCSE such as periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs), bilateral independent periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (BIPLEDs), generalized periodic epileptiform discharges [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Burst Suppression
Hypoxia and drug intoxications can produce a number of abnormal EEG patterns such as burst suppression, alpha coma, and spindle coma. Structural lesions, either supra- or infratentorial, are reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Follow-up outpatient treatment with olanzapine improved his social functions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The presence of EEG spindle activity after hypoxic or anoxic injury did not indicate a favorable prognosis, but the absence of spindles or EEG background reactivity was associated with a poor outcome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It then describes the emergency treatment, both medical and surgical, of patients with specific disorders of consciousness and their prognosis. [books.google.de]
It also describes the emergency treatment, both medical and surgical, of patients with specific disorders of consciousness and their prognosis. [oxfordmedicine.com]
We review diagnosis and prognosis in disorders of consciousness, address ethical challenges arising in the care of these patients, and provide a guide to discussions with surrogate decision makers for the comatose or severely brain-injured patient. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
Etiology
The onset of psychiatric symptoms, closely followed by neurological symptoms, without other possible somatic etiology suggests that HIV itself might precipitate psychosis. The patient was treated successfully with electroconvulsive therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pts in such states are usually seriously ill, and etiologic factors must be assessed (Tables 16-1 and 16-2). [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
The mechanism of coma in toxic, metabolic, and infectious etiologies and hypothermia is less well understood and to some extent is cause specific. [uptodate.com]
Epidemiology
*See below for clinical features Epidemiology[6] There were 1,167 deaths from asthma in the UK in 2011. An estimated 75% of admissions for asthma are avoidable and as many as 90% of the deaths from asthma are thought to be preventable. [patient.info]

Pathophysiology
Although the manifold signs of ocular motor dysfunction may be confusing to most clinicians, many of the signs can be attributed to clear pathophysiological mechanisms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The book begins with a description of the physiology of consciousness and the pathophysiology of disorders of consciousness. [books.google.de]
It begins with a description of the physiology of consciousness and the pathophysiology of disorders of consciousness, followed by a description of the approach to a patient, and reviews the important structural and metabolic causes of coma are reviewed [oxfordmedicine.com]
"The 4th edition is every bit as wonderful as the preceding 3, only with much more information...It is a wonderful clinical guide with clear descriptions of pathophysiology and application of modern technology for diagnosis."-- Lewis P. [amazon.com]
Prevention
We used the vigilance promoting drug modafinil to prevent such attacks in a case presented with endozepine stupor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
