TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Post-anoxic theta and alpha pattern coma JO - Clinical EEG (Electroencephalography) A1 - Bortone, E. A1 - Bettoni, L. A1 - Giorgi, C. A1 - Trabattoni, G. R. A1 - Mancia, D. SP - 156 EP - 159 VL - 25 IS - 4 N2 - Theta pattern coma is a rare EEG finding, described in the course of post-anoxic or post-traumatic coma and interpreted as a "malignant" variant of alpha pattern coma. A case of isolated theta pattern coma, followed by alpha pattern coma is reported. Short temporal succession of such patterns would seem to confirm the hypothesis of a close relationship between them. Possible physiological mechanisms involved in the generation of the patterns are discussed.
