  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

10 cases showing vegetative state and 2 cases of brain death due to severe brain damage were ob-served and the differences of clinicopathological findings between both states were discussed.

The cases of vegetative state can be divided into three groups, first is widespread lesion in the cere-bral cortex, second is in the cerebral white matter and third is in the brain stem. While, the diffuse whole brain damage including the vegetative center of the central nervous system causes brain death. We should like to emphasize that the most im-portant structure to maintain the human life is the vital center in the lower brain stem, and that a human being, in whom only those function can be preserved, is possible to be alive as vegetative state.

Prognostic value of the EEG indicating quality of survival noted in early stage after severe brain damage has not so important as the flat EEG re-vealed in brain death.
