“…The prolonged recordings taken by us did not last longer than 4 h. Certainly, therefore, the information obtained is less than could have been derived from overnight or 24-hour recordings [2,4,17], However, since record ings were regularly repeated over time, they enabled us to analyze the development of the CAP as the neuropsychologic functions were being progressively recovered and the organi zation of the levels of arousal was becoming gradually normal. The role played in progno sis by the presence of CAP as an immediate consequence of head injury is an uncertain one [1], Only its development over the fol lowing days might provide indications as to the eventual outcome of coma.…”

“…The role played in progno sis by the presence of CAP as an immediate consequence of head injury is an uncertain one [1], Only its development over the fol lowing days might provide indications as to the eventual outcome of coma. The persis tence of CAP or its conversion into a pattern with no spontaneous or elicited reactivity, within 3 weeks of the injury, are in turn a feature suggesting a poor prognosis [29], Ac cording to Bricolo et al [7], the fluctuating two-phase pattern may turn, around the 4th day, into a monotonous slow pattern or else it may take on some features that are typical of sleep [9], In particular, bursts of 8-14 c/s waves which resemble the spindles of stage-II sleep coexist with CAP in 38% of discontin uous recordings [7], In prolonged night re cordings, alongside subjects who suffer from an absolute lack of any of the sleep compo nents, other subjects show sleep cycles either complete or incomplete because of the ab sence of REM sleep or of some stages in slowwave sleep [2,4], In the recordings taken by us. we saw that a correct organization of the sleep cycles was being recovered progressive ly, and that the reappearance of REM sleep took place after non-REM sleep.…”

“…Even mild TBI can be associated with headache, dizziness, nausea/vomiting, impaired balance and coordination, vision changes, tinnitus, mood and memory changes, difficulty with memory and attention, and fatigue and/or sleep disturbances. (3) The relationship between head trauma and impaired consciousness and cognitive disturbance have been well described,(4) but the association between head injury and sleep disturbance has not been extensively studied.
