"Locked-in" state following Reye's syndrome.
A 12-year-old boy with Reye's syndrome had an initial course complicated by increased intracranial pressure and systemic hypotension. He subsequently developed brainstem damage producing permanent apnea and a "locked-in" state. Nevertheless, the normal architecture of sleep was retained, as was a high degree of intelligence.
