Comata

See Coma. The first order of Dr. Cullen's second class neuroses; defined a diminution of voluntary motion, attended with sleep, or a deprivation of the senses. In this order he ranks apoplexies, palsies, and adds the species of tremor. He therefore comprehends those affections which have generally been called soporose diseases; but observes, that they are distinguished by consisting in some interruption or suppression of the powers of sense and voluntary motion, or of what are called the animal functions. These, he observes, are usually suspended in the time of natural sleep; but in all these diseases, sleep, or even the appearance of it, is not constantly a symptom. They are also termed nervorum resolutiones.
