Locked-In Syndrome

Among the many patients with stroke or other lesions, Physicians should look for patients suffering from locked in syndrome. This case is rare but it is very important considering the patient's condition is unknown, kuadriplegia, lay hold on temapt sleep, and completely dependent on others. However, patients still have a very limited capacity of cognitive capacities that are still intact and able to communicate by moving his eyes. In other words, the patient can not move his body at all (locked) but still has the mind intact.
Locked in syndrome is usually derived from the base Pontis infarction or medulla. Usually caused by thrombosis and embolus originating from the branching arteries basillaris.
Some of the peripheral nervous system diseases such as bulbar lesions, can cause the Lock-in Syndrome. For example, myasthernia gravis, ALS, Guillain Barre syndrome, and other SST disease.

Stroke Risk Factors in Children and Adolescents

Age is one factor supporting the occurrence of stroke. Increasing age is directly proportional to the increased risk of stroke. Stroke can be triggered by GPDO (blood vessel disorders of the brain) that began at the age of 3-5 decades. arterial blood vessels are specialized to function as a fast track to deliver blood from the heart to the tissues, including brain and serves reservoir pressure to produce the driving force for the blood when the heart is relaxing. Driving style so that the blood continues to flow to the tissue during the heart relaxes, produced by the elastic properties of the arterial wall. As a result of degenerative processes such as age, the elasticity of blood vessels is reduced. As a result, blood pressure must be increased so that adequate blood supply in tissue. However, its manifestations are the blood vessels so it is easy to experience aneurysm rupture when changes little.
