Abstract
This chapter describes the biochemical and physiologic mechanisms (where known) by which multifocal and diffuse disorders interfere with the metabolism of the brain to produce delirium, stupor, or coma. It also describes the signs and symptoms that characterize these disorders and differentiate them from localized intracranial mass lesions and unifocal destructive lesions.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
