  • Title: [The value of the acetazolamide stimulation test with 99mTc-HMPAO-SPECT in reversible cerebrovascular insufficiency].
    Author: Dingler WH, Deininger HK.
    Journal: Rofo; 1991 Nov; 155(5):465-71. PubMed ID: 1954368.
    Abstract:
    Regional cerebral blood flow reduction was measured in 84 patients with CVI using 99mTc-HMPAO-SPECT. 53 patients received 1 g acetazolamide to evaluate cerebrovascular reserve capacity. Differentiating between hemispheric (87%) and vertebrobasilar ischaemia (64%) revealed markedly increased sensitivity for the provocative test with acetazolamide. In 62% of high grade but asymptomatic carotid stenoses a haemodynamic effect was demonstrated with acetazolamide and thereby the indication for surgery was supported.
