    Abstract:
    We report a case of transient tic disorder with abnormal findings on 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT. The patient was 5-year-old girl with vocal and motor tic. There was no evidence of structural abnormality on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Electroencephalogram (EEG) showed spikes and sharp waves on both frontal lobes and parietal lobes (left-side dominant). 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT demonstrated focal regions of hyperperfusion in the both frontal lobes, both parietal lobes and right temporal lobe corresponding to the abnormal findings detected by EEG. It also demonstrated an area of hyperperfusion in the right basal ganglia. It is suggested that 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT is useful for the diagnosis and the understanding of the clinical state of tic disorder.
