http://30hours.com more hot videos and updated news coma patient communicates A Belgian car crash victim who was misdiagnosed as being in a vegetative state for 23 years was conscious the whole time, it has emerged. For years he listened to the conversations going on around him but he was unable to communicate with his doctors or family. Rom Houben was 23 at the time of the near-fatal car crash in 1983 that left him paralyzed. Doctors presumed he was in a vegetative state following the accident and they believed he could feel and hear nothing. Neurologist Dr.Steven Laureys of the University of Liege, in Belgium carried out a brain scan using state-of-the art scanning system and discovered that Houben's brain was fully functional. In an interview with the UK's ITV news Monday, Rom communicated by typing on a special keyboard attached to his wheelchair, and aided by his carer. He said: "At some moments it was terribly lonely but I knew my family was believing in me." "I simply want to enjoy life," he added. "I notice a big difference now I'm back in contact with the world." The case has highlighted the difficulties doctors face when trying to diagnose the level of consciousness of a patient in a coma-like state. A study carried out last year on 103 patients by Laureys and his colleagues at Liege's Coma Science Group found that 41 percent of patients in a Minimally Conscious State (MCS) were misdiagnosed as being in the much more serious Vegetative State (VS). Dr. Daniel Hanley, professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins Medicine, in Maryland, told CNN that VS is a coma-like state in which patients have a sleep and wake cycle, and can show reflex chewing, swallowing and blinking, but don't respond to language or stimulation. Patients in MCS occasionally show they are aware of their environment, for example moving to face a doctor when asked, but only infrequently. Laureys said of his research, "Differentiating the vegetative from the minimally conscious state is often one of the most challenging tasks facing clinicians involved in the care of patients with disorders of consciousness. "Misdiagnosis can lead to grave consequences, especially in end-of-life decision-making."
