A 72-year-old female developed a "locked-in" syndrome due to bilateral ventral pontine infarction. The symptoms improved 72 hours after the beginning of the clinical features. At the end of the acute phase of the disease, only a pseudobulbar syndrome of pontocerebellar type persisted. Usually, the evolution of "locked-in" syndrome is irreversible. However, our case shows that a satisfactory outcome can be possible, with a partial regression of the initially established neurological symptoms.
一名72岁女性因双侧脑桥腹侧梗死出现“闭锁综合征”。临床症状出现72小时后症状有所改善。在疾病急性期结束时，仅遗留桥小脑型假性球麻痹综合征。通常，“闭锁综合征”的病情发展是不可逆的。然而，我们的病例显示，最初出现的神经症状部分消退，有可能获得令人满意的结果。
