[Brain death and prolonged fetal survival].
The Authors presents in detail a case of a 25-year-old primigravida that had fatal intracranial bleeding at the beginning of the 15th week of gestation, whose vital function are sustained for 49 days. Despite the insuccess to bring the pregnancy to a gestational period favorable to induce the delivery, they analyse the problems connected to the maternal maintenance and to the fetal growth.
