Abstract
Investigated 16 patients with diffuse or contusional brain damage and 8 patients with focal lesions 5-22 mo postinjury, using single proton emission computed tomography (SPECT) cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements and neuropsychological examination. All Ss were aged 16-64 yrs. Compared with 16 controls, the diffuse group showed significant differences on 13 of 24 measures after correction for premorbid differences, whereas the focal group was significantly impaired on only 3 tests after correction. SPECT apparently identified abnormalities not demonstrated on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and vice versa. Abnormal regional CBF seemed to be related to neuropsychological defects.
