Tc-99 HMPAO cerebral SPECT imaging in brain death patients with complex spinal automatism.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the value ofTc-99 HMP AO cerebral SPECT imaging to confirm brain death in patients with complex spinal automatism.. Fifteen patients (8 female, 7 male) aged between 1,5-48 years showing spinal movements within 24-72 hours after brain death were examined with Tc-99 HMPAO cerebral SPECT.. All patients demonstrated empty skull on Tc-99 HMPAO images and no contradictory case was ob- served between standard clinical criteria and SPECT study.. Non-invasive brain SPECT study is valuable to diagnose and confirm brain death with spinal automatism in adults and children.
