title: Infantile spasm induced by hemispheric pachygyria ultrasound, MRIand Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT.
abstract: We report a case of infantile spasm induced by hemisphere pachygria in which ultrasound and MRI provided precise anatomic information of hemisphere pachygria and Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT scintigraphy supplied an accurate assessment regional cerebral blood flow of infantile spasm during a seizure.
