우리는 혈전 용해요법을 시행한 뇌경색 환자를 대상으로 과잉관류가 발생한 아급성기에 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO SPECT와 $^{99m}Tc$-ECD SPECT를 같은 날 실시하여 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO SPECT에서는 과잉관류 소견이 보이나, $^{99m}Tc$-ECD SPECT 에서는 결손으로 나타남을 관찰하였다. 이 환자는 임상적으로 신경학적 이상에 호전이 없이 증상 발생 42일째 사망하였다. 문헌을 검토하여 종합하고 우리 환자예를 분석한 결과 $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO SPECT가 뇌혈류를 반영하여 관류회복과 과잉관류상태를 나타내었고, $^{99m}Tc$-ECD SPECT는 뇌세포의 대사 및 생존여부를 반영하여 뇌세포 손상이 넓고 심각함을 나타내었다고 보았다.
For brain perfusion SPECT imaging, $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO and $^{99m}Tc$-ECD are commonly used. Although these two tracers usually show similar distribution, it is well known that discrepant finding might be noted between $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO and $^{99m}Tc$-ECD imaging in some conditions. Luxury perfusion(perfusion/metabolism mismatch) is one of the examples and could be observed in subacute cerebral infarction. We report a case of subacute cerebral infarction that revealed luxury perfusion. Increased perfusion was found in $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO SPECT and perfusion defect was found in $^{99m}Tc$-ECD SPECT. We found large area of mismatch with a consecutive acquisition-subtraction method. Crossed cerebellar diaschisis was observed in both SPECT images.
