Le syndrome de verrouillage («locked-in syndrome») est une entité mal connue, qui peut être prise à tort pour un coma. Ce terme définit en fait une paralysie complète des membres et des nerfs crâniens inférieurs, l'état de conscience restant normal. Le sujet peut communiquer au moyen d'un code oculaire, puisque les mouvements de verticalité des paupières et le clignement des paupières sont conservés. Les causes de ce syndrome sont très variées, ainsi qu'en témoignent les observations rapportées, mais l'origine vasculaire par obstruction du système vertébrobasilaire en est la cause essentielle. 6, record 1, French, - syndrome%20de%20verrouillage

tetraplejía; tetraplejia: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que, en general, son válidas tanto las formas que articulan las vocales finales como un hiato —y por tanto se tildan— ("tetraplejía", "paraplejía" [...]) como las que las que lo hacen con diptongo —y en consecuencia se escriben sin tilde— ("tetraplejia", "paraplejia" [...]), aunque advierte que en el español actual son más comunes estas últimas. La palabra "apoplejía" es una excepción, ya que solo se considera válida esa forma (no "apoplejia"). 5, record 2, Spanish, - tetraplej%C3%ADa
