Abstract

The level of free amino acids in cerebrospinal fluid from eight patients in comatose states has been determined. The variations of cerebrospinal fluid-free amino acids observed in coma have been compared with those reported by other authors in patients affected by epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, infantile amaurotic idiocy (GM2-gangliosidosis) and phenylketonuria.
