Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in traumatic locked-in syndrome

The first reported case of traumatic locked-in syndrome with computed tomographic and magnetic resonance scan confirmation of the brain stem lesion is presented. The lesion responsible for the patient's condition consisted of a hemorrhage in the ventral pontomedullary junction. The pathophysiol...

Zusammenfassung:	The first reported case of traumatic locked-in syndrome with computed tomographic and magnetic resonance scan confirmation of the brain stem lesion is presented. The lesion responsible for the patient's condition consisted of a hemorrhage in the ventral pontomedullary junction. The pathophysiology of the production of such lesions is discussed.
