AbstractComa in children is uncommon and can pose difficulties in diagnosis and management. Resuscitation should concentrate on management of the airway, breathing and circulation and on rapid exclusion of easily correctable conditions, e.g. hypoglycaemia. Common causes of coma are considered and the diagnostic evaluation of these children is discussed. A case of a toddler in coma is discussed from the perspective of the accident and emergency department to illustrate the management of these challenging but uncommon patients.
