Trombolisis intraarterial en trombosis de la arteria basilar: Recuperación de dos pacientes con síndrome de enclaustramiento
Locked-in syndrome is a dramatic clinical condition, the patient is awake, can listen and breath, but is unable to move any muscle, conserving only the vertical eye movements. The most common cause of locked-in syndrome is the thrombosis of the basilar artery and commonly leads to death, frequently...
