2 Learning objectives Our objective is to highlight the usefulness of the 4 vessel cerebral angiography in the diagnosis of brain death, especially in cases of patients where diagnosis is in question and presenting cases where the angiography results are opposed to the clinical neurological examination findings. Background Brain death is defined as the complete and irreversible loss of function of the brainstem. The key clinical criteria for the diagnosis of brain death include the presence of coma and apnea and the absence of brainstem reflexes. Although the clinical neurological assessment remains the most basic method for diagnosing brain death, the application of confirmatory tests especially the 4 cerebral vascular angiography, is particularly useful in cases of potential organ transplantation, where the confirmation of brain death is difficult due to the occurrence of clinical signs that indicate some retention of brain function or when coexisting conditions such as Guillain-Barret syndrome, severe hypothermia and the use of drugs that cause confusion and lead to misdiagnosis. Imaging findings OR Procedure details In the last 5 years, 32 (thirtytwo) patients in a comatose state (22 males and 10 women with mean age of 50 years) have been transferred to the angiography room from the ICU for confirmation of brain death. 24 of those patients were due to primary brain damage (16 injuries, 2 tumors, 4 hemorrhages, 2 sagittal sinus thrombosis) while the remaining 8 were due to secondary brain damage (cerebral hypoxia due to cardiorespiratory insufficiency). A detailed clinical neurological assessment of all patients was acquired and a selective 4-vessel cerebral digital subtraction angiography was performed with the use of high pressure contrast media injection. In 25 patients (79%) brain death was confirmed by showing complete absence of cerebral blood flow, while in 7 patients, despite the suspicion of the clinical neurological examination, confirmation of brain death was not possible due to delayed filling of the carotid arteries above petrosal sinus level and lack of vertebrobasilar plexus contrast enhancement. The clinical criteria for diagnosis of brain death include coma, absence of brainstem reflexes and apnea. Confirmation of brain death is difficult when manifested clinical signs suggest some remaining brain function coexisting with conditions such as Guillain-Barret Page 2 of 15
3 syndrome, locked-in syndrome, severe hypothermia or drug use that causes confusion and leads to misdiagnosis. In these cases confirmatory methods are useful. Digital subtraction angiography, the Doppler ultrasound and scintigram scan reveal the state of blood flow to the brain, while the EEG records the electrical activity of the brain. The findings of angiography in case of brain death are: 1. Absence of cerebral vessel outlines of the carotid and vertebral arteries at level of entry in the skull 2. The external carotid artery network can be patent 3. There may be delayed filling of the upper sagittal sinus While performing angiography the contrast agent is injected at high pressure. The brain vessel network may not be enhanced due to: 1. Systolic blood pressure is not high enough to propagate blood to the brain vasculature. 2. Neuroglia perivascular edema and the formation of the subendothelial bullae caused by ischemia, leads to abnormal vascular wall collapse of smaller diameter vessels which in turn lead to increase endovascular resistances.

14 Conclusion The clinical neurological assessment remains the most basic method for the diagnosis of brain death. The main indication for 4-vessel angiography is the early diagnosis of brain death in order to speed up the patients for organ transplants as well as to confirm brain death in subjects where clinical confirmation is hampered by the presence of other factors such as hypothermia or taking drugs. Complete interruption of blood flow to the brain for more than 10 minutes in adults with normal temperature, is incompatible with survival of brain tissue. Therefore, the complete absence of cerebral circulation outline and the complete absence of blood flow to the brain diagnostic for brain death.
