Abstract
There must be a defined, predisposing condition to fulfil the criteria of brainstem death in the UK. A patient presented recently in coma and with absent brainstem reflexes, but no diagnosis was initially obvious. A subsequent diagnosis of Guillain–Barré syndrome was made, and the patient made a full recovery.Keywords
