A member asked:
Docs, could a person who suffers a severe stroke or an aneurysm fall into a deep coma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is indeed possible. A stroke or an aneurysm causing damage to critical parts of the brain (brainstem, thalamus, large bilateral damage) that are responsible for arousal and sustaining consciousness can cause deep coma.
