Unlabelled:
The Syndrome of Gerstmann-Straussler is a constellation of typical symptoms that affects the parietotemporal crossroad and also involves the contiguous parts of the occipital lobe of the dominant hemisphere. Is a family ailment that starts with an espinocerebellar ataxy followed by dementia. Diagnosis options such as EEG, TC, RM and brain SPECT-99mTc-HMPAO have been carried out in an adult with Gerstmann Syndrome.
Results:
The brain SPECT disclosed a disminution of the flow at the parietotemporooccipital areas of both hemispheres. The results revealed a clinical and a neuromorphofunctional correlation.
Conclusion:
Brain SPECT is a complementary test to the structural neuroradiological examinations, such as TC and RM, that occasionally is useful not only to clarify but also to widen the information that these offer.
