Abstract
The results obtained with intravenous brain angioscintigraphy (IBAS) with 99 mTc-DTPA(Sn) are evaluated in 61 patients with clinical suspicion of cerebellar, cerebral or cranial lesions of posterior location or without focal signs or with a previous IBAS in anterior view being normal or of low significance. One hundred patients without demonstrable cerebral or cranial pathology were explored to define the normal characteristics and variation of the IBAS in posteior view. Of the 61 patients with pathology, 45 showed angioscintigraphic alterations. The following angioscintigraphic patterns were found: 1. Perfusion increased, 2. Perfusion diminished, 3. Flip-flop, 4. Mixed pattern, 5. Circulatory arrest, 6. Jugular venous reflux, 7. Normal IBAS associated with an abnormal morphologicall study, 8. Normal IBAS associated with a normal morphological study.
