    Notes: Abstract We describe a case of incomplete locked-in syndrome (LIS) due to basilar artery thrombosis, in which MRI showed a complete, sharply demarcated infarct at the pontomedullary junction. This supports experimental data showing that the lower reticular formation is not critical for the maintenance of consciousness. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ischaemic pontomedullary transection with LIS.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Descriviamo it caso di un ragazzo di 20 anni con un nevo congenito gigante che ha sviluppato una emparesi ascendente progressiva cronica. L'associazione della lesione pigmentata ad un deficit neurologico focale è patognomonica della melanosi neurocutanea complicata da un melanoma leptomeningeo. L'imaging con Risonanza Magnetica a 1.5 Tesla ha permesso di escludere questa possibilità ed ha dimostrato una piccola ed aspecifica lesione pontina lungo il decorso del tratto corticospinale. Discutiamo quindi le possibili cause eziologiche.
    Notes: Abstract We describe the case of a 20 year old boy with a giant congenital nevus who developed a chronic progressive ascending hemiparesis. The association of the pigmented lesion with a focal neurological deficit is pathognomonic for neurocutaneous melanosis complicated by a leptomeningeal melanoma. MR imaging at 1.5 tesla ruled out such a possiblity and showed a small aspecific pontine lesion along the route of the corticospinal tract. We discuss possible etiologies.
