Locked-in syndrome after basilary artery thrombosis by mucormycosis masquerading as meningoencephalitis in a lymphoma patient.
[locked-in syndrome]
Locked-
in
syndrome
is
a
rare
clinical
syndrome
due
to
basilary
artery
thrombosis
generally
associated
with
trauma
,
vascular
,
or
cardiac
malformation
.
It
can
present
as
various
types
of
clinical
evolution
and
occasionally
masquerades
as
other
pathological
conditions
,
such
as
infective
meningoencephalitis
.
These
complications
are
the
cause
of
diagnostic
delay
,
if
not
promptly
recognised
,
followed
by
patient
death
.
We
report
the
case
of
a
42
-
year
-old
female
with
a
systemic
B
and
cutaneous
T
-
cell
non-
Hodgkin
's
lymphoma
,
with
a
severe
neutropenia
lasting
over
a
year
,
who
eventually
developed
a
rapid
and
fatal
fungal
mucormycosis
sepsis
following
a
skin
infection
on
her
right
arm
,
associated
with
locked-
in
syndrome
and
meningoencephalitis
.
