Findings of 123I-iomazenil SPECT during and after stroke-like episodes in a patient with MELAS.
Reduced cortical benzodiazepine receptor binding potential in late images of I-iomazenil SPECT indicates neuronal damage in the cortex. We present the case of a 31-year-old woman with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) who had focal seizures in the right hand. FLAIR imaging in the ictal state revealed a high-intensity lesion in the left post-central gyrus, while I-iomazenil SPECT showed decreased tracer uptake in this lesion. The lesion completely disappeared on FLAIR imaging performed 1 month after the focal seizures; in contrast, I-iomazenil SPECT still revealed a significant decrease in tracer uptake in this lesion.
