Recovery of a Patient from a Seemingly Vegetative State

Abstract

Nevine M. El Nahas

Vegetative state (VS) is characterized by complete absence of behavioural evidence for self or environmental awareness. This is a case report of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient who was referred as a vegetative state. He was given medical, cognitive and physical therapy and recovered consciousness after 6 months. We thus concluded that patients with such a diagnosis should receive best medical, physical and cognitive care as some of them could show good recovery.
