Case reports of patients with chronic disorders of consciousness in obstetric and gynecological practice

Abstract

According to the modern classification system, chronic disorders of consciousness are defined as an altered state of consciousness that develops after coma and is accompanied by the restoration of wakefulness without the complete recovery of conscious activity for more than 28 days after traumatic brain injury. Clinical cases of chronic chronic disorders of consciousness development in women after surgical interventions related to various obstetrical and gynecological pathologies, as well as after routine surgical interventions for comorbid somatic pathology, are of particular interest to obstetricians and gynecologists. In the presented chronic chronic disorders of consciousness related clinical cases of operations for ectopic pregnancy, as well as consequences of elective surgery for gallstone disease, the development of hypo- and normogonadotropic ovarian insufficiency associated with chronic disorders of consciousness is described. The characteristics of the thyroid status, adrenocorticotropic function, and vitamin D levels are given. Further in-depth examination and accumulation of data on patients with chronic disorders of consciousness may provide an opportunity to determine informative markers for prognostication of outcomes, as well as to develop new effective approaches to consciousness rehabilitation in this category of patients.
