Reversible cerebral hypoperfusion observed with Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT in reversible dementia caused by hypothyroidism.
A 69-year-old man had hypothyroid dementia as a result of I-131 therapy and an overdose of methimazole. Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT revealed diffuse cerebral hypoperfusion. The findings of brain SPECT normalized with the disappearance of symptoms and a return to the euthyroid state. There was a 25% or 26% reduction of the mean cerebral blood flow during dementia. This may be the first report in which SPECT brain imaging revealed reversible hypoperfusion associated with reversible hypothyroid dementia.
