What is Present in "locked in" syndrome and explain in detail?
(A) Cognition # LOCKED-IN SYNDROME is a condition in which a patient is aware and awake, but cannot move or communicate due to complete paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles in the body except for the eyes. Total locked-in syndrome is a version of locked-in syndrome where the eyes are paralyzed as well. It is the result of a brain stem lesion in which the ventral part of the pons is damaged.
