Abstract

A 43-year-old woman suffered mild trauma to the head and neck in an automobile accident and subsequently developed a locked-in syndrome. Arteriography revealed abnormal retrograde filling of the distal basilar artery. Dramatic improvement occurred over two months, and she eventually recovered neurologically. This case illustrates the need for early and appropriate medical management of patients with locked-in syndrome.
