Abstract
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with technetium-99m (Tc-99m) hexamethylprophylene amine oxime (HM-PAO) were repeatedly pe rformed in a 55-year-old woman with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Th e initial brain SPECT 10 days after anoxic insult showed focal hypoper fusion which appeared 20 days prior to the onset of delayed neurologic sequelae, and the findings of follow-up SPECTs correlated with the cl inical course of CO poisoning. The possibilities of early hypoperfusio n on SPECT of acute CO poisoning were discussed.
