Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disease. It has a fast progression, so early diagnosis is decisive. Two functional imaging tests can be involved in its diagnosis: [I]Ioflupane SPECT and [I]MIBG scintigraphy.

An 86-year-old woman suffering from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction underwent [ 99m Tc]Tc-DPD scintigraphy and a SPECT/CT for suspected transthyretin amyloid cardiac amyloidosis. The scan showed intracardiac and liver uptake.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is subdivided into two types: MSA-P (parkinsonian) and MSA-C (cerebellar). Brain SPECT allows for the detection of nigrostriatal involvement, even in the early stages. To date, the scientific literature does not show a consensus on how to follow-up MSA, especially MSA-C.

- Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a serious neurodegenerative disorder with no cure, and its diagnosis follows specific criteria.
- A study involving 139 patients at the initial suspicion of MSA found that [I]Ioflupane SPECT is effective, revealing positive results in 78.45% of cases, especially strong in MSA-P subtypes.
- The findings suggest that [I]Ioflupane SPECT is a reliable diagnostic tool that significantly differentiates between healthy individuals and those with MSA, as well as between the different subtypes of the disease.

Hemiplegic migraine (HM) is an unusual type of migraine, with few cases reported in the literature. Unlike other types of migraine, aura HM presents accompanying motor deficit manifestations that do not last more than 24 hours. We report a 27-year-old man referred to us from the emergency department to carry out a cerebral perfusion SPECT with (99m)Tc-HMPAO.

Patients And Methods: We included 10 patients with a clinical diagnosis of MSA-C and compared them with 10 patients diagnosed with essential tremor (controls) and 10 with Parkinson Disease (PD). The studies are evaluated by the striatum/occipital index (S/O).
