title: Long-term observation of two cases of locked-in syndrome with recovery. Clinical and CT-scan features.
abstract: We report clinical features of two patients suffering from Locked-In Syndrome (LIS) who made a moderate recovery, some years after the onset: a 29-year-old man, with mitral valve stenosis, and a 41-year-old diabetic woman. CT scan findings showing cerebellar and brain stem atrophy, as well as hypodensity areas in the ventral pons, are described.
