Local cerebral blood flow in motor neuron disease: correlation with clinical findings
M Kobari, K Obara, S Watanabe, T Dembo… - Journal of the …, 1996 - Elsevier
Local cerebral blood flow (CBF) measured by xenon-enhanced CT was correlated with the
clinical findings in 21 patients with motor neuron disease (mean±SD age, 60±10 years). In
11 patients, CBF was also measured after intravenous injection of 2 mg thyrotropin releasing
hormone (TRH). There were no significant differences in CBF of the cerebral cortex, basal
ganglia, thalamus, and subcortical white matter with respect to age, duration of illness, or
presence (n= 9) or absence (n= 12) of bulbar palsy. In patients with upper motor neuron …
