  • Title: "Locked-in" syndrome: report of seven cases.
    Author: Hawkes CH.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1974 Nov 16; 4(5941):379-82. PubMed ID: 4425887.
    Abstract:
    Seven cases of the "locked-in" syndrome are described. This is a disorder in which a conscious, mute patient is completely paralysed apart from some form of eye movement, usually as a result of an infarct in the ventral pons. Such patients are often assumed to be in coma and as a result may be distressed by inappropriate conversation around the bedside.
