A 52-year-old woman suddenly presented with right conjugate eye deviation, anarthria and quadriplegia, and appeared to be in a deep coma. MRI revealed a new infarct in the left cerebellar hemisphere and stenosis in the distal portion of the basilar artery caused by arterial dissection. Her deficits improved within 6 hours of onset. Moreover, on day 1, she described that she had been alert and her vision, hearing and somatic sensation had been preserved during the illness. Total locked-in syndrome should be considered while assessing patients with total immobility who are unable to communicate.
一位 52 岁女性突发出现右眼凝视障碍、构音障碍和四肢瘫痪,并表现为深度昏迷。MRI 显示左侧小脑半球出现新梗死,基底动脉远端狭窄,由动脉夹层引起。发病后 6 小时内,她的症状有所改善。此外,在发病第一天,她描述说自己一直保持清醒,在患病期间视力、听力和躯体感觉均正常。对于无法交流的完全不能活动的患者,应考虑完全性闭锁综合征。
