Abnormal radiotracer uptake in cerebral artery aneurysms can mimic brain death on scintigraphy. Neuropathological examination revealed dissections within a fibrotic aneurysm caused the subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Sudden loss of consciousness can indicate severe neurological events.
- Cerebral artery aneurysms are a known cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
- Brain death scintigraphy is crucial for diagnosing irreversible cessation of brain function.
