What was the name of the disease that was in the House episode where Mos Def was hit by a car door?

I believe this is episode 19 March 30th 09. The title of the episode was ';Locked Up'; I think. Mos def was hit by a car door while he was riding a bicycleWhat was the name of the disease that was in the House episode where Mos Def was hit by a car door?
Locked In is the syndrome.





';Locked-in syndrome is a condition in which a patient is aware and awake, but cannot move or communicate due to complete paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles in the body except for the eyes.';





';The condition has been described as ';the closest thing to being buried alive';. In French, the common term is ';maladie de l'emmur茅 vivant';, literally translated as walled-in alive disease;';





';locked-in syndrome is caused by damage to specific portions of the lower brain and brainstem with no damage to the upper brain.';





This has to have been on of my all time favorite episodes of House.What was the name of the disease that was in the House episode where Mos Def was hit by a car door?
The patient initially had locked-in syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locked_in_syndrome), but was ultimately diagnosed with leptospirosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospirosis).
I think it was ';Locked-In'; syndrom.
