Locked in syndrome with a favourable outcome

Abstract: The locked in syndrome seldom occurs in children, is rarely due to trauma and only in exceptional cases has a favourable outcome. The case reported below is unusual in all these respects, and its evolution might be an example of successful axonal regeneration in the central nervous system.
