Technetium-99m HMPAO imaging in Sturge-Weber syndrome.
The Tc-99m HMPAO brain imaging confirmed marked hypoperfusion secondary to anomalous cerebral venous drainage of the Sturge-Weber syndrome. Until now, this had been a hypothesis suggested by results obtained from conventional brain scans and cerebral arteriography.
