Coma

(From Coma 2330 or to lie down). In Galen's

Exegisis it is expounded by cataphora; and in his treat-tise on a coma, he says, that coma includes every cata-phora, both the sleepy and wakeful. By the word coma the author of Prorrheticon often expresses a lethargy. The coma is sometimes called by the name typhoma-nia, being supposed to consist of a mixture of phrensy and lethargy. It is the coma somnolentum of authors; in reality, a less violent degree of apoplexy, in which the loss of sensation is not so considerable. See Caros.
