Topodiagnostik der Creutzfeldt- Jakobschen Krankheit durch HMPAO-SPECT

Zusammenfassung

Wir berichten über eine 80jährige Patientin, die im frühen Stadium einer Creutzfeldt-Jakobschen Krankheit, in Übereinstimmung mit den klinischen, elektrophysiologischen und neuropathologischen Befunden, im HMPAO-SPECT Asymmetrien der regionalen zerebralen Perfusion zeigte. Das HMPAO-SPECT stellt eine Erweiterung der diagnostischen Palette bei dieser Krankheit dar.

Summary

A 80-year old female presented with an early stage of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with clinical, neurophysiological and neuropathological findings suggesting a focal involvement of the brain. HMPAO SPECT disclosed asymmetries of regional cerebral perfusion, thus suggesting that it may be a further diagnostic instrument in this disease.
