مستخلص:	Outcome prediction of neurological recovery in an unconscious survivor of cardiorespiratory arrest is difficult and uncertain. We describe the case of a 25-yr-old post-arrest survivor who made a remarkable neurological improvement despite a seemingly hopeless prognosis. Conventional clinical and neurophysiological assessments need to be interpreted with care in the presence of uncontrolled seizure activity and sedative medications. The measurement of biochemical markers in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid may be useful in helping the clinician to arrive at a more accurate neurological outcome prediction.
