NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE IN A PATIENT WITH NEUROLOGICAL SYNDROME WITHOUT DEFINED ETIOLOGY
Introduction: The near-death experience is a phenomenon that has intrigued and fascinated scholars for decades. These are reports of individuals who went through an experience that includes sensations, among others, characterized as being outside one's own body, perception of a bright and intense light, encounters with loved ones who are dead or alive. Objective: A case registered in the neurology ward of Hospital de Base de São José do Rio Preto, in which, despite extensive investigation of neurological etiologies, no etiological diagnosis was found that justifies the presented condition associated with an experience of almost death (NDE). Final considerations: Medicine often presents us with cases that escape our full understanding, leading us to question the true meaning of life and health.
