  • Title: Brain perfusion SPECT in a patient with a subtle venous angioma.
    Author: Matsuda H, Terada T, Katoh M, Ishida S, Onuma T, Nakano H, Yagishita A.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1994 Sep; 19(9):785-8. PubMed ID: 7982312.
    Abstract:
    Brain SPECT of regional cerebral blood flow using I-123 IMP demonstrated a focally decreased perfusion area immediately adjacent to a venous angioma in a patient with simple partial seizures. A positive correlation was obtained among the location of the venous angioma, the decreased perfusion area on SPECT images, and the electroencephalographic focus. Anomalous venous drainage through a venous angioma may explain a perfusion disturbance in the surrounding brain of the angioma. High-resolution SPECT imaging with magnetic resonance guidance provides useful information on the pathophysiology of venous angiomas.
