Abstract |
Thallium-201 brain SPECT is utilized in the diagnosis
of brain tumor especially in cases where CT or MRI
findings alone cannot differentiate malignant lesion
from benign. Recently we came across two cases of
positive T1-201 brain SPECT in clinically suspected
brain tumor patients that turned out to be hemorrhagic
cerebral infarction instead on biopsy. The findings in
these cases demonstrate that thallium-201 accumulation
may occur by the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier
and phagocytic cell infiltration in the liquefaction
stage of infarction. |
