Abstract
A patient with acute dementia underwent imaging of the brain with tech netium-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime single-photon emission compu ted tomography, Regional perfusion abnormalities were identified in mu ltiple locations, particularly in the left frontal lobe. This informat ion was used to direct an open brain biopsy, which led to a diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease.
