Abstract
A 13-year-old girl with Ki-1 anaplastic large cell lymphoma (Ki-1ALCL) bulky deposits in the brain developed raised intracranial pressure and coma associated with asynchronous burst-suppression following standard dose cranial irradiation. Supportive care, steroids, and chemotherapy resulted in clinical improvement. Burst-suppression coma may be reversible when secondary to tumor, decrease in steroids, or radiation effects; the asynchrony localizes the lesion to cortical interconnections such as the corpus callosum.
