Can a Neurologist Review Brain Death Diagnosis CT Scans?

Patient's Query

Hello, I have a relative of mine that was diagnosed with brain death through angiogram yesterday and I was just hoping there'd be a chance for the diagnosis to be wrong or inaccurate, is there any chance to share the CT scans link with a neurologist to see what they think?

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Brain death is highly sensitive and difficult situation to navigate. When brain death is determined through an angiogram, it's usually a conclusive finding. Brain death means the irreversible cessation of all brain activity, including the brainstem. In fact, this diagnosis is made very carefully and accurately by experienced medical professionals. Sharing CT scans with a neurologist might not change the diagnosis, but I recommend discussing your concerns with the medical team caring for your relative. They can provide more detailed information and support during this challenging time.

Male | 18

You se­em down about not smelling or tasting. Plus, that headache­ is tough. A cold or sinus issue might cause this. Stay hydrated. Re­st up. Try decongestants and antihistamines if ne­eded. But if it worsens or linge­rs, see a doctor.

Meraj 11 saal ka beta hai Use 2 ,saal se sir dard rehta hai Brain MRI test normal hai Pain kler khane se bhi thik nahi hota hai

Male | 11

Does the pain come suddenly? Is it increased during the time of constipation or gas? If so, try drinking water more often, and eat fruits, vegetables, and salads. Besides, there might be a different reason, which is to meet the doctor in case.

I am 27 year old female I take sertraline I need to take betahistine for vertigo but I am afraid to take it because I’m scared of serious side effects or getting Steven Johnson syndrome

Female | 27

I get what you’re saying about using Betahistine with Sertraline. Don’t worry, few people get severe side effects like Steven Johnson Syndrome from Betahistine. Some common side effects might be a headache or an upset stomach. When you’re suffering from vertigo, it feels like everything is spinning around you. Betahistine works by increasing the blood flow within the inner ear which can help with this. However, it’s best to speak with your doctor before taking any medication.

Epilepsy can be challenging at this time. It’s worrying that you have a few seizures each year. It may be a good idea to see a neurologist. They can help work out whether it’s safe for you to get pregnant while controlling your fitness. You need to strike the right balance for yourself and your unborn child too.

It sounds like your brother is experiencing worsening epilepsy along with sensorineural hearing loss. It's important to consult a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy for proper evaluation and management of his seizures. Additionally, an ENT specialist can assess and guide his hearing loss. It's crucial to seek medical advice promptly to ensure he receives appropriate care and support.
