Abstract
Regional cerebral and cerebellar blood flows were studied by N, N, N'-trimethyl- N'-(2-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-[123I]iodobenzyl)-1,3-propanediamine 2 HC1 (1-123 HIPDM) and single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) in a patient with an ischemic lesion of the pons. An asymmetry of perfusion of the cerebellar hemispheres, normal on transmission computerized tomography scan, was demonstrated by SPECT studies in the early acute phase and confirmed 15 days after. This finding may be related to the interruption of the corticopontocerebellar pathways.Keywords
