Favorable outcome from a locked-in state despite extensive pontine infarction by MRI.
Neurocrit Care. 2009; (3): 369-71
Outcome prediction of patients who are in a locked-in state is challenging. Extensive pontine infarction on diffusion weighted imaging MRI (DWI) has been proposed as a poor prognosticator. We report on three patients with a locked-in state with unexpected favorable recoveries despite DWI evidence of widespread pontine ischemia.
