- Abstract
The Authors present a case of post-anoxic coma accompanied by myoclonic status. They describe the clinical picture and instrumental data. The outcome seems to be determined by the serious anoxic-pathological damage rather than the myoclonic jerks. They discuss the problem concerning preventive treatment by use of thiopental sodium (T.P.S.) in such cases.
