SCHERLE-MATAMOROS, Claudio E.  y  FERNANDEZ-CUE, Leda. Brain Death. Diagnosis Supported By Transcranial Doppler. Rev Ecuat Neurol [online]. 2025, vol.34, n.1, pp.124-127. ISSN 2631-2581.  https://doi.org/10.46997/revecuatneurol34100124.

Brain death is diagnosed through a clinical examination that requires a period of observation. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, in whom after presenting symptomatic vasospasm, brain death was diagnosed with the support of transcranial Doppler sonography. Conclusion: Transcranial Doppler allows us to demonstrate the cerebral circulatory arrest that accompanies brain death and shortens the observation period.
