Coma with Triphasic Wave pattern in EEG as a Complication of Temporal Arteritis
Neurol 42:439-440, Tomer,Y.,et al, 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
Coma is rare in temporal arteritis(TA).We describe a patient with TA who suddenly developed coma with a triphasic EEG pattern that resolved after initiation of steroid treatment.Although the arterial lesions in TA are segmental in nature,TA may present with signs of diffuse neurologic deficit;early treatment can result in complete resolution.
