I think obtundation is a less frequently used synonym of stupor. See, for example:
http://www.health.am/encyclopedia/more/obtundation/
Obtundation
Alternative names
Stuporous; Mental status - decreased; Loss of alertness; Decreased consciousness; Alertness - decreased; Changes in consciousness; Consciousness - decreased; Coma
Also classification of the levels of consciousness:
levels of consciousness - clinically differentiable degrees of awareness and alertness such as alert wakefulness, lethargy, clouding of consciousness, stupor, and coma.

Comment: "TKS for the help. I chose "stupor" because it best fit the context and I was able to back-translate from "оглушение" to "stupor"."

devocalization
Quickly there is a condition of devocalization, occur coma and sharp vascular insufficiency develops. "
I don't know if a sentence translation is correct but I am sure about the word.

dizziness
stupor seems to be too strong

: dizziness - это головокружение. к оглушенности не имеет никакого отношения./vertigo - это вестибулярное, или системное, головокружение

почитайте по ссылке - там медицинское описание, а не бытовое, и подчеркивают отличия от vertigo, которое есть головокружение

obnubilation or torpor
Many attempts have been made at classifying the various "depths" of coma - namely, the classical one which distinguishes between ** obnubilation, torpor, **light coma and coma carus. Most authors distinguish three or four stages or "depths" (Mansuy et al. 1955; Fischgold and Mathis 1959; Loeb 1958).
Thus (Table 2), depending on the responses to these different tests, it will be possible to place the patient in one of five categories, according to the disturbances of perception:
P1 includes all the patients with no loss of con sciousness, patients who are "neurophysiologically" normal.
P2 represents **"obnubilation"**: these patients are disorientated in time and in space, and are unable to obey a written command. They can, however, pass all the other tests.
P3 represents what was classically known as **"torpor"**: they cannot give the name of flowers, and their understanding of the spoken word is poor. An order must be repeated many times before it is obeyed, and even then very slowly. But the blink reflex remains normal.
P4 represents the last stage of cortical percept ion, where only the blinking response to a threat persists.
P5 represents the stage where all perception is lost, indicating an organic or functional disturb ance of the cortical neurones.

patient becomes unresponsive
I think this is more fitting because "stupor" or "torpor" is not something I have encountered in anything that I have seen in a medical field, personally or professionally (while translating or interpreting in hospitals) in the US.
Could be different for England though.

obtundation
Или confusion
В принципе, однозначного соответствия англ. и рус. терминов нет. Переводя в обратную сторону, я часто использую "оглушенность" для "obtundation" и "confusion".
Вот неплохой медицинский сайт, где при описании отравления метанолом используется термин "obtundation":
http://www.emedicine.com/neuro/topic217.htm
Methanol
...
Neurological manifestations
Initially, the symptoms from methanol intoxication are similar to those of ethanol intoxication.
Headache may present early.
Nonspecific drowsiness may progress rapidly to ***obtundation*** and coma.
Seizures may occur, generally as a complication of the metabolic derangement or as a result of damage to the brain parenchyma.
Определение из Энциклопедического словаря мед. терминов:
оглушение (син.: ¶оглушенность, синдром оглушения сознания) — форма помрачения сознания, характеризующаяся повышением порога всех внешних раздражителей, замедлением и затруднением течения психических процессов, скудностью представлений, неполнотой или отсутствием ориентировки в окружающем.
Пример перевода (Неврология, Москва, Практика, 1997):
2. Level of unconsciousness. Abnormalities of consciousness comprise a continuum, ranging from mild confusion to total unresponsiveness. It is useful in clinical practice to categorize patients with abnormal consciousness according to stages of progressive unresponsiveness. Given the confusion surrounding the meanings of terms describing levels of consciousness, it is good practice to describe in detail on the record the responses of the patient to various stimuli. Use of terms such as lethargy, somnolence, or ***obtundation*** should be substantiated by a brief descriptive paragraph in the history.
2. Степень нарушения сознания может варьировать от легкой спутанности до полной ареактивности. Четких переходов между этими состояниями нет. На практике степень нарушения сознания определяют по реакции больного на раздражители. Поскольку термины, обозначающие степени нарушения сознания (такие, например, как заторможенность, сомноленция или ¶оглушенность), часто понимаются по-разному, в истории болезни лучше не просто ограничиться одним из них, а подробно описать реакции больного.

: Да, я тоже про confusion подумал. Википедия, конечно, не Taber's, но все же, вот пример описания симптомов отравления метанолом: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol : headache, dizziness, nausea, lack of coordination, *confusion*, drowsiness, and ...

Спасибо, Володь :) Я думаю, можно использовать и obtundation, и confusion. Говорю же, строгого соответствия терминов нет.

: По-моему, confusion - это не совсем то. Я перевожу confusion как "спутанность сознания". Определение: Confusion - Impaired orientation with respect to time, place, or person; a disturbed mental state. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=8&q=confusion

Спасибо, Марина. Повторяю, однозначного соответствия нет. И я обычно в переводе исхожу из болезни или из состояния.
