Brain SPECT imaging in progressive aphasia

H Lee et al. Clin Nucl Med. 1992 Oct.

Abstract

Progressive aphasia without dementia is a relatively uncommon neurobehavioral syndrome. The initial presentation of progressive aphasia without cognitive impairment may pose a diagnostic dilemma. The authors report a patient with progressive aphasia. The initial neuro-imaging studies (MRI, CT) were not diagnostically helpful. However, brain SPECT imaging with Tc-99m HMPAO clearly demonstrated a left temporal lobe abnormality. This report discusses the potential clinical usefulness of brain SPECT imaging in the evaluation of neurobehavioral disorders.
