Coma in head injured people is usually the result of an injury to all parts of the brain and not just the brain stem. In the majority of cases, a person in a prolonged coma indicates a diffuse injury to all parts of the brain, including the brain stem and in most cases recovery is a slow process. Effects of brain stem injury may include prolonged difficulty with movements, vision, swallowing and other bodily functions controlled by the brain.
