Locked-in Syndrome

I have recently been reading a lot on the so-called locked-in
syndrome, where following a stroke in the brain stem a person
is often left completely paralised except for one or both eyes.
Why are the eyes usually spared from the overall paralysis?
Are there any reported cases in which a person is 100%
paralised but there is still normal brain activity?
Thanks,

Marco
