Locked-in syndrome responding to endovascular treatment
Conclusions This study found that EVT was associated with favorable functional outcomes and decreased mortality among patients with LiS. Baseline pc-ASPECTS and pneumonia were independent predictors of outcomes.

Scientists use AI to decipher words and sentences from brain scans
A technique based on artificial intelligence (AI) can translate brain scans into words and sentences, a team of computational neuroscientists reports. Although in the early stages and far from perfect, the new technology might eventually help individuals with brain injuries or paralysis regain the ability to communicate, researchers say. The study “shows that, using the right methods and better models, we can actually decode what the subject is thinking,” says Martin Schrimpf, a computational neuroscientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was not involved in the work. Other research teams hav...

Locked-in Syndrome Due to Meningovascular Syphilis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Intern Med. 2021 Oct 19. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.8269-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe herein report a 46-year-old man presenting with locked-in syndrome secondary to meningovascular syphilis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated multiple acute infarctions in the left ventromedial pons, right basis pontis, and left basal ganglia. His locked-in syndrome was hypothesized to have been caused by thrombosis of the small paramedian branches of the basilar artery due to syphilitic arteritis. This is a unique case of bilateral ventromedial pontine infarction caused by meningovascular syphilis that presente...

The clinical and cognitive spectrum of locked-in syndrome: 1-year follow-up of 100 patients
AbstractIn patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS), it is not known exactly to what extent cognitive functions are preserved and it is not known exactly how much it has improved. We aimed to examine the clinical and cognitive features of LIS 1 year after stroke. One hundred patients with locked-in syndrome (LIS) were recruited between January 2008 and May 2019 among 8200 patients with ischemic stroke. Patients were classified into two groups as single pontine infarcts (n = 72), and pontine plus multiple ischemic lesions (PMIL) (n = 28). Since the patients had limited motor and verbal response, the cognitive status o...

A clinical characteristic analysis of five cases of rare bilateral cerebral peduncular infarction (BCPI) with the 'Mickey Mouse ears' sign.
Conclusions: BCPI is a very rare stroke disease and its main clinical manifestations are locked-in syndrome and persistent vegetative states. However, the obtained imaging features on the brain-MRI of patients diagnosed with BCPI with the 'Mickey Mouse ears' sign can predict a bad prognosis.

Case series: Hyperdense basilar artery identified on unenhanced head CT in three cases of pediatric basilar artery occlusion
Acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is an easily missed, potentially devastating type of ischemic stroke. Children with BAO can present with a range of clinical symptoms, from headache, dizziness, nausea and/or vomiting [1-3] to profound alterations of consciousness, including locked-in syndrome and coma [2]. Typically in children with BAO, only an unenhanced head Computed Tomography (CT) is initially performed. When an obvious finding is not identified, such as intracranial hemorrhage, the unenhanced CT is rarely carefully further scrutinized by emergency physicians.

Recurrent Vertebrobasilar Strokes Associated With Acute Posterior Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy (APMPPE)
Conclusions: This case illustrates the importance of careful evaluation and high clinical suspicion for this entity when dealing with patients with new-onset headache or stroke associated with visual impairment. Proper ophthalmologic evaluation is important so that adequate therapy is established.

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in the Study of Speech and Language Impairment Across the Life Span: A Systematic Review.
Conclusions Though it is not without inherent challenges, fNIRS may have advantages over other neuroimaging techniques in the areas of speech and language impairment. fNIRS has clinical applications that may lead to improved early and differential diagnosis, increase our understanding of response to treatment, improve neuroprosthetic functioning, and advance neurofeedback.
