Sequential computed tomography and 123I-HIPDM scans in multiple sclerosis with large plaque. A case report.
We report a case of acute multiple sclerosis in whom computed tomography (CT) scan suggested the presence of a large plaque. The anatomical and functional recovery of the brain tissue was followed by means of repeated CT scan and 123I-HIPDM studies. Single photon emission CT may be successfully employed to monitor the pathophysiological changes associated with the demyelinating process.
