While others have evaluated communication in people with remaining muscle control, to the best of our knowledge, it is not known whether neural-based communication remains possible in a completely locked-in state. Here, we implanted two 64 microelectrode arrays in the supplementary and primary motor cortex of a patient in a completely locked-in state with ALS.

Third nerve palsy is bilateral in only about 10% of cases, of which one in five cases is due to brainstem stroke. Bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy as an isolated clinical finding after brainstem stroke is extremely rare. We present a case of severe bilateral fascicular oculomotor nerve palsy due to distal basilar occlusion and subsequent midbrain infarction of cardioembolic origin.
