[locked-in syndrome]
Many
diseases
have
been
dealt
with
in
literature
,
cinema
or
television
,
including
epilepsy
,
cancer
,
mental
disorders
,
movement
disorders
or
infectious
diseases
.
Among
the
many
pathologies
that
have
been
considered
,
locked-
in
syndrome
is
one
that
has
been
of
particular
interest
to
writers
and
film-makers
.
To
review
how
locked-
in
syndrome
has
been
portrayed
in
literature
,
cinema
and
television
.
Locked-
in
syndrome
is
a
state
that
is
generally
secondary
to
a
brainstem
lesion
with
involvement
of
the
corticobulbar
and
corticospinal
tracts
,
thereby
impeding
the
patient
from
producing
any
kind
of
motor
response
.
Patients
remain
conscious
,
maintain
their
higher
functions
and
can
both
see
and
hear
.
Yet
,
they
are
quadriplegic
with
paralysis
of
the
lower
cranial
nerves
and
can
not
move
or
speak
.
They
only
conserve
the
capacity
to
move
their
eyes
vertically
and
their
eyelids
,
which
they
can
use
as
a
way
to
communicate
.
This
pathology
has
come
to
the
attention
of
writers
and
film
and
television
directors
,
who
have
described
characters
with
this
syndrome
.
Likewise
,
there
are
also
stories
told
in
the
first
person
by
patients
who
have
experienced
this
condition
and
who
have
written
their
story
using
eye
movements
as
a
means
to
communicate
.
Literature
,
cinema
and
television
have
shown
an
interest
in
locked-
in
syndrome
and
have
placed
special
attention
on
the
problems
these
patients
have
to
communicate
with
others
.
