Résumé

In France, the law defines and prohibits "unreasonable obstinacy" and provides a framework for the subsequent decision to limit or to cease treatment. It also gives the person the right to appoint a trusted person and to draft advance directives regarding this issue. There have been few studies of neurosurgeons' involvement in decision-making in regard to treatment limitation after severe traumatic brain injury.
