case_images: (A) Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, (B) regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 123I-iodoamphetamine. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging revealed no apparent brain atrophy or high-intensity areas (A). SPECT using a 123I-iodoamphetamine was performed, and SPECT data were analyzed by 3D stereotactic surface projections (3D-SSP) included in "medi+FALCON version 1.4" (Nihon Medi-Physics Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Z-score maps of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were created based using 3D-SSP. The SPECT images showed decreased rCBF in the occipital and frontal lobes (B). In contrast, rCBF increased in the basal ganglia and pons (B).
