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 .
