Abstract

Dopamine transporter (DAT) scan is important in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). We herein report a patient with vascular parkinsonism (VP) who showed dopamine transporter (DAT) scan findings which mimicked those typically seen in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). DAT scan findings in patients with VP are characterized by a lower striatal asymmetry index than in patients with PD and decreased uptake in the area consistent with old cerebral infarction or hemorrhage. However, we should be aware that, as in our patient, VP patients with asymmetric basal ganglia lesions, may show increased striatal asymmetry index and asymmetric DAT scan findings.

血管性帕金森病显示多巴胺转运体扫描结果与帕金森病相似

多巴胺转运体（DAT）扫描对帕金森病（PD）的诊断非常重要。我们在此报告一名血管性帕金森病（VP）患者的多巴胺转运体（DAT）扫描结果与帕金森病（PD）患者的扫描结果相似。血管性帕金森病患者 DAT 扫描结果的特点是纹状体不对称指数低于帕金森病患者，且在与陈旧性脑梗塞或脑出血一致的区域摄取减少。然而，我们应该注意的是，与我们的患者一样，基底节不对称病变的 VP 患者可能会表现出纹状体不对称指数增高和 DAT 扫描结果不对称。

期刊介绍： eNeurologicalSci provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. eNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials). eNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism. The fields covered may include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroepidemiology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuroophthalmology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurooncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, and tropical neurology.
