Study Objective: To identify the neural structures and pathways underlying cataplexy during status cataplecticus in a narcoleptic patient, using brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
Methods: A 68-year-old woman with hypocretin-deficient narcolepsy-cataplexy suffered status cataplecticus after having stopped clomipramine. She underwent a 99mTc-ethylcysteinate dimer brain SPECT during an episode of cataplexy; this image was compared with her brain SPECT during an intervening asymptomatic period.
