Putaminal hyperperfusion in dystonic posturing on subtracted SPECT: a case report

Dystonic posturing (DP) is one of the most reliable lateralizing symptoms for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, although the mechanism remains unclear. We demonstrated a hyperperfusion area in the right putamen on subtracted postictal SPECT by using the automatic registration technique in one patient w...

Zusammenfassung:	Dystonic posturing (DP) is one of the most reliable lateralizing symptoms for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, although the mechanism remains unclear. We demonstrated a hyperperfusion area in the right putamen on subtracted postictal SPECT by using the automatic registration technique in one patient with ictal DP of the left hand. The putamen may play a key role in DP, similar to other diseases with dystonia.
