Transient Unresponsiveness in the Elderly, Report of Five Cases
Arch Neurol 49:35-37, Haimovic,I.C.&Beresford,H.R., 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Five hospitalized elderly patients had one or more self-limited episodes of unresponsiveness that could not be explained by metabolic,structural, convulsive,or psychiatric disorders.They accounted for approximately 2%of cases referred to us for evaluation of coma.Despite some heterogeneity, shared clinical features in these patients suggest an age-related disorder of arousal that may be more common than is generally appreciated.
