The patient remained in a comatose condition for eight or nine days, during which he had enuresis and intestinal torpor.
He suffered from severe concussion of the brain, which accounted for his prolonged coma.

Delirium was present, but he was carefully watched and not allowed to injure himself.

His recovery was tedious and was delayed by several relapses.

His first complaint after consciousness returned (on the tenth day) was of a sense of constriction about the neck, us if he were being choked.

This gradually passed off, and his improvement went on without development of any serious symptoms.
