Everything about Stupor totally explained
Stupor represents an important loss in
cognitive functions. The word derives from the
Latin "stupure," meaning insensible. Being characterised by impairments of reactions to
external stimuli, it usually appears in
infectious diseases, complicated
toxic states,
mental illnesses (for example
schizophrenia),
vascular illnesses (for example
hypertensive encephalopathy),
neoplasms (for example
brain tumors), and so on.
Symptoms
If not stimulated externally, a patient with Stupor will be in a
sleepy mode most of the time. Short periods of restricted
responsivity can be achieved by intense
stimulation (for example pain, bright light, loud noise).
Localisation of brain lesions
Lesions of the
Ascending Reticular Activation System on height of the
Pons and
Metencephalon have been shown to cause Stupor. The incidence is higher after left-sided
lesions.
