The two types of coma that can last more than 4-6 weeks are the persistent vegetative state (PVS) and the minimally conscious state (MCS). In PVS, a person may have sleep-wake cycles but lacks awareness of themselves or their environment, while in MCS, there are intermittent signs of awareness and responsiveness, though these may be inconsistent. Both conditions result from severe brain injury and require careful medical assessment.
