N2  - We report a case of acute baclofen poisoning in a 23-year-old female patient, who committed suicide, which led to the development of a deep coma. The electroencephalogram on the first day recorded the phenomenon of "burst suppression", which was seen as a sign of a dying brain. Subsequent studies have shown positive changes of the electroencephalogram and regression of neurological symptoms. Thus, the phenomenon of "burst suppression" in the depression of consciousness to deep coma and given adequate treatment, can be reversible. © 2017 Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine.
