Abstract
99mTc-HM-PAO was used to evaluate regional cerebral blood flow in a 26-year-old woman
with Moyamoya disease. This patient had an 18-month history of recurrent neurologic
deficits and had angiographic evidence of Moyamoya disease. She had used oral contraceptives
and cigarettes, but had no other risk factors for stroke. Single photon emission computed
tomographic images showed bilateral and asymmetric reductions in blood flow to anterior
and lateral brain regions. These findings correlated better with clinical symptomatology
and suggested more extensive brain involvement than did computed tomography.
