Abstract
• Five hospitalized elderly patients had one or more self-limited episodes of unresponsiveness that could not be explained by metabolic, structural, convulsive, or psychiatric disorders. They accounted for approximately 2% of cases referred to us for evaluation of coma. Despite some heterogeneity, shared clinical features in these patients suggest an age-related disorder of arousal that may be more common than is generally appreciated.
