Abstract
Dystonic posturing (DP) is one of the most reliable lateralizing symptoms f or mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, although the mechanism remains unclear. W e demonstrated a hyperperfusion area in the right putamen on subtracted pos tictal SPECT by using the automatic registration technique in one patient w ith ictal DP of the left hand. The putamen may play a key role in DP, simil ar to other diseases with dystonia.
