We met at the 6th EANS Congress in Paris, July 15- 20, 1979, where their scientific results on clinical assessment of impaired brain functioning in head injuries with aid of their GCS and GOS were presented and intensively discussed, four years after their first presdntation at the 5th EANS congress in Oxford, UK..

Instead I reported about pathophysiology changes at the ICU by continuous multimodal bedside monitoring of head injuries, including CCT diagnostics at Samiis ICU in Hanover(Acta neurochir. Suppl.28, 85 1979). This is how we got into our conversation, which led to a collegial, scientifically enriching mutual exchange in the following years. We met at different places in the world.

1997 at 2nd IBIA World Congress in Seville, Spain , Bryan Jennett (PVS), Franz Gerstenbrand, Vienna (AS) , and I (WFNS Committee neurosurgical rehabilitation) met together. We wanted to think about how we could come to a scientifically justified medical diagnosis in the case of AS and PVS in order to use AS and VS(PVS) both syndromes equally for clinical assessment. Jennett agreed to skip permanent in VS, secondly he and Gerstenbrand agreed to us AS and VS both together, since AS has been mainly used only in Europe. Jennett book (2002) The Vegetative State, medical effects, ethical and legal dilemmas echoes our common 1992 conclusion as well as the EFNS Guidelines for quality management of AS VS published by me in 2007 However, since numerous clinicians felt still uncomfortable with the term “vegetative”, we finally replaced both terms AS and VS with a new name in 2010, UWS, unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (Laureys et al, BMC Med.2010,8:68).
