Brain death

Discussion:

This is a case of brain death. The patient was previously healthy but suddenly developed a "thunderclap headache", classically from a subarachnoid hemorrhage. CTA demonstrated a relatively large ICA aneurysm with diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. The hemorrhage progressively worsened. The nuclear medicine study showed characteristic findings of brain death, such as the empty light bulb sign and hot nose sign.
