Enteroviral meningoencephalitis may cause locked-in syndrome with residual deficits in adolescents; extends sparse case literature but remains hypothesis-generating.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights an unusual severity of enteroviral encephalitis leading to a locked-in state.
Acharya et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Enteroviral meningoencephalitis (n=1). Enteroviral infection was evaluated on Locked-in state and neurologic deficits. Enteroviral meningoencephalitis in a 14-year-old female led to a rapid decline in consciousness and a locked-in state, with residual neurologic deficits remaining despite slow improvement.
