Abstract
In 1959, Mollaret & Goulon, two French neurophysiologists, added a new figure of what they calledcoma dEpassE � ( �overcoma �) to the known phenomenology of the coma. In addition to the classical coma, which was characterized by the loss of relational life functions (consciousness, mobility, sensibility, reflexes), the medical literature of the time also distinguished an alert coma (incomplete loss of relational functions), and a carus coma (the preservation of vegetative life functions was seriously threatened) (1).
