Decrease in cerebellar blood flow in patients with Friedreich's ataxia: A TC-HMPAO SPECT study of three cases.
Three cases of Friedreich's ataxia were submitted to diverse neuroradiological procedures in order to determine the extent of atrophic processes in the central nervous system. All patients underwent computerized-tomography scan, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and HMPA-single Photon emission computerized tomography studies, focusing in cerebellar lobes. A slight atrophy was observed in the vermis and the cerebellar lobes with CT scan and MRI. In contrast a significant decrease in cerebellar blood flow was shown by TC-HMPAE SPECT study. The significance of these findings in understanding physiopathological mechanisms in Friedreich's ataxia is discussed.
