2012, Brain and DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :In general, previous SPECT, xenon-CT, PWI and PET studies all showed that hypoperfusion and hypometabolism are the most common abnormalities in the affected area of patients with SWS and chronic epilepsy [3,8,9,28,29]. Importantly, previous cerebral blood flow SPECT and FDG PET studies showed that perfusion and metabolic abnormalities are anatomically well matched with the region of the vascular malformation; however, the perfusion and metabolic deficit can extend beyond the lobe with overlying leptomeningeal enhancement [3,9]. This observation is now further supported by our results showing brain regions with abnormal perfusion and/or glucose metabolism in lobes not affected by the malformation.
