Abstract
Brain single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed in 16 patients with focal epilepsy, as well as EEG, using 99m Tc-HM-PAO SPECT and a rotating gamma camera system. Pathological Tc-HM-PAO SPECT findings were registered in 75%. CT was positive in 25%. MRI was positive in 76%. The results of Tc-HM-PAO SPECT findings were compared with those of CT and MRI. 61% of the MRI findings correlated with the pathological SPECT findings with respect to the side of the hemisphere, and in 75% of the patients the focal EEG abnormality and the pathological Tc-HM-PAO-SPECT findings were localized in the same hemisphere.Entities:
