[Severe traumatic coma from diffuse brain lesions (neuropathological aspects) (author's transl)].

J Pialat, P Duvillard, M Tommasi

    Revue D'Electroencephalographie Et De Neurophysiologie Clinique
    |April 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details diffuse brain lesions, including common contusions and edema, and less common corpus callosum, brain stem, and white matter injuries. These complex lesions significantly worsen coma duration and outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuropathology
    • Neurotrauma

    Context:

    • Diffuse brain injuries are a significant cause of prolonged coma.
    • Understanding complex neuropathological mechanisms is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To review and describe diffuse brain lesions, focusing on less common injuries.
    • To elucidate the pathogeny and impact of specific brain lesions on coma.

    Summary:

    • The study reviews common brain lesions (contusions, vascular, edema) and details less recognized injuries to the corpus callosum, brain stem, and white matter.
    • Pathological mechanisms including physical injury, anoxia-ischemia, and edema are discussed.
    • Biochemical lesions, such as alterations in myelin proteins and neurotransmitters, are also considered.

    Impact:
