  • Title: [The prognostic value of evoked potentials in early neurologic rehabilitation of patients with the apallic syndrome].
    Author: Zeitlhofer J, Steiner M, Oder W, Obergottsberger S, Mayr N, Deecke L.
    Journal: EEG EMG Z Elektroenzephalogr Elektromyogr Verwandte Geb; 1991 Mar; 22(1):10-4. PubMed ID: 1864243.
    Abstract:
    In 22 patients with apallic syndrome brainstem auditory and somatosensory evoked potentials were recorded, in 8 patients the course during rehabilitation was observed. Clinically the patients were scored with Glasgow-coma scale, Karnofsky-index and Goldenberg-scale. The outcome of rehabilitation was estimated by the "Glasgow-outcome scale". No correlation was found between results of evoked potentials and clinical state. First evoked potentials measurements of apallic patients allowed no prognosis. Evoked potentials are an important prognostic factor after severe head trauma, but have no value for the prognosis of apallic patients.
