Adrenoleukodystrophy: Cortical Hypoperfusion Demonstrated With 99mTc-HMPAO SPECTDepartment of Nuclear Medicine, Tawam Hospital

Department of Paediatrics Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates Regional cerebral blood flow was investigated in an 8-year-old boy with adrenoleukodystrophy by single photon emission computed tomography. The use of 99mTc-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime revealed markedly reduced blood flow in the occipital, parietal, and temporal cortical gray matter, in addition to the anticipated reduction in white matter. The area with a decreased blood flow was more extensive than that detected by x-ray computed tomography. (J Child Neurol 1994;9:284-286).
