Abstract
A patient with typical features of Angelman syndrome - a genetically i nherited disorder involving developmental delay, ataxia, episodes of p aroxysmal laughter and brachiocephaly - was studied with single-photon emission tomography. Hypoperfusion found in the left frontal and left temporoparietal regions can provide insights into the functional cere bral pathology, which may be due to a disturbance of the developmental process related to a chromosomal abnormality.
