Abstract
We detected a regional defect in the pons with ipsilateral cerebellar hypoperfusion in a patient with acoustic neuroma by brain SPECT with99mTc HMPAO. A high spatial resolution SPECT system with three detectors equipped with fan-beam collimators was employed. This is the first report of a defect in the brainstem being visualized by perfusion SPECT and this method could make it possible to clarify the cause of a remote effect on the cerebellar perfusion by injury to the brainstem.Keywords
