ABSTRACT

The locked – in syndrome is a severe and disabling neurologic disorder that is due to a lesion in the ventral half of the pons. In this syndrome there is paralysis of all motor activity and anarthria as a result of involvement of the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts in the basis pontis. Portions of the pontine tegmentum together with the reticular formation remain intact, so that the patient is awake and aware. Vertical gaze and blinking are spared and are the only means by wich such patients communicate.
