Description
Ghazal Shadmani and Amin Haghighat Jahromi present a 2026 case report of isolated brainstem death. Brain death calls are usually plain when the whole brain is ruined. Rare cases wreck the brainstem alone, while scans still show blood flow to the upper brain, which can stall the call.
Their patient was a woman of forty seven who arrived drowsy and fell into nonstop seizures. Scans showed a clot in the basilar artery, treated with clot drugs and a retrieval device. Her brainstem reflexes and own breathing stayed absent. A flow scan showed no flow to the rear brain but kept flow above. Support went on till later scans showed total swelling and shift. She was then declared dead, and organs were donated per her wishes.
