Abstract
A 28-year-old woman admitted to the emergency department with a Glascow Coma Scale score of 4 after a closed head injury resulting from a motor vehicle crash was found to have a positive serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin level of 27 mIU/mL. After stabilization and treatment for her closed head injury, she remained in a comatose state for more than 240 days. At 36 to 37 weeks' gestation, she had contractions and elevations in her blood pressure. A healthy female infant was born by an operative vaginal delivery with Apgar scores of 9 and 9.
