Popis:	The determination of Brain Death (BD)/Death by neurological criteria (DNC) is now widely accepted among various international societies following the World Brain Death project recommendation. As per the World Brain Death project, ancillary testing should be performed when standard brain-death examination components are inconclusive or cannot be performed. BD was defined legally in 1994 under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act (THOA). However, even after 27 years of the formulated law, there are no guidelines in the THOA regarding the determination of BD using ancillary tests. The present brief report describes two instances where ancillary tests like four-vessel angiography and transcranial doppler-aided brain-death certification were done. It is the first available literature from our country where ancillary tests aided in confirmation of BD when the standard clinical components of DNC could not be performed.
