Alpha-pattern coma in childhood and adolescence.

D R Lersch, A M Kaplan

    Archives of Neurology
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Alpha-pattern coma (APC) in children can have variable outcomes. Prognosis appears linked to the underlying cause, as seen in cases of drug overdose and cardiac arrest.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pediatrics
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Alpha-pattern coma (APC) is a rare electroencephalographic finding.
    • Understanding the prognostic factors for APC in pediatric populations is crucial.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric cases of APC were identified.
    • One case resulted from phenobarbital sodium overdose with full recovery.
    • The second case followed cardiopulmonary arrest, leading to an unfavorable outcome.

    Findings:

    • The prognosis of APC in children is variable.
    • The outcome of APC appears to be strongly correlated with the etiology or underlying cause.

    Implications:

    • These findings highlight the need for careful assessment of the cause of APC in children.
    • Prognostication should consider the specific clinical context and underlying condition.
