Incidental finding of herpes zoster infection by Tc-99m HMPAO.
Tc-99m HMPAO brain SPECT study incidentally demonstrated a large area of increased accumulation in the soft tissue of the face and fronto-parietal region of the head, corresponding to the distribution of the ophthalmic and maxillary branches of the trigeminal nerve, which had been infected by herpes zoster.
