Abstract

Brain death is usually not confirmed by neurological and angiographical techniques until long after it has actually taken place. In connection with a case in which expert testimony was heard, clinical and radiographic evidence and the autopsy statement are discussed as criteria of continuing development of brain edema; on the basis of the evidence it was possible to conclude that the cerebral circulation had not yet ceased at the time assumed.
