Abstract
A 2‐month‐old infant is described in whom the electroencephalographic finding of alpha‐frequency activity was correlated with a clinical state of unresponsiveness. This condition occurred following a period of hypoxia and was similar to alpha‐pattern coma in adults. The finding of alpha‐pattern coma in a young infant suggests that alpha‐frequency activity in comatose states is abnormally generated since alpha‐frequency activity normally is not found in this age group.Keywords
