An article describing the case appears in the April 21 issue of the British medical journal, The Lancet . It is the first known report of a situation in which a patient's coma was reversed by the injection of glue, according to Wouter I. Schievink, M.D., Director of the Neurovascular Surgery Program at Cedars-Sinai and the article's lead author."
