Neuroimaging in disorders of consciousness: contributions to diagnosis and prognosis
10.2217/FNL.10.87 © 2011 Future Medicine Ltd The process of diagnosing a patient with a disorder of consciousness (DOC), such as the vegetative state (VS) or minimally conscious state (MCS), is a challenging one. Unlike other neurological conditions, these DOCs are not defined by a particular pathology or neural marker, but must instead be distinguished and diagnosed on the basis of clinical hi...
متن کاملThe Role of Neuroimaging Techniques in Establishing Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapy in Disorders of Consciousness
Non-communicative brain damaged patients raise important clinical and scientific issues. Here, we review three major pathological disorders of consciousness: coma, the unresponsive wakefulness syndrome and the minimally conscious state. A number of clinical studies highlight the difficulty in making a correct diagnosis in patients with disorders of consciousness based only on behavioral examina...
متن کاملBrain networks predict metabolism, diagnosis and prognosis at the bedside in disorders of consciousness.
Recent advances in functional neuroimaging have demonstrated novel potential for informing diagnosis and prognosis in the unresponsive wakeful syndrome and minimally conscious states. However, these technologies come with considerable expense and difficulty, limiting the possibility of wider clinical application in patients. Here, we show that high density electroencephalography, collected from...
متن کاملThe Role of Neuroimaging in the Diagnosis, Prognosis and Management of Disorders of Consciousness and Locked-in Syndrome
Disorders of consciousness and locked-in syndrome are two completely different neurological conditions which share unresponsiveness or minimal responsiveness at an observable behavioral level. The key element of disorders of consciousness is the loss of self- and environmental awareness, while the main feature of locked-in syndrome is extreme motor entrapment despite preserved awareness. In bot...
