The following overview summarizes the most common causes of unconsciousness in children, the role of imaging methods in diagnosing

and highlights the different course of disease and different response to treatment in patients with CSC on the basis of different rates of

neuroplasticity and immunological response to cerebral insult, which is probably genetically determined.
