Such EEG transition is hitherto undescribed in patients with hepatic encephalopathy and gives fresh insight into the etiopathogenesis of specific EEG patterns in diffuse encephalopathy.Neurosciences & NeurologyAlpha coma evolving into spindle coma in a case of acute fulminant hepatic failure: What does it signify?
