Guillain-Barré syndrome mimicking brainstem death.

Autor(es): Coad N. R.; Byrne A. J.


Resumo: There must be a defined, predisposing condition to fulfil the criteria of brainstem death in the UK. A patient presented recently in coma and with absent brainstem reflexes, but no diagnosis was initially obvious. A subsequent diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome was made, and the patient made a full recovery.
