Regional brain glucose metabolism was studied in a case of postischaemic thalamic syndrome. Despite a normal density of the thalamus on MRI and CT images, a 17% relative hypometabolism was found in the posterior thalamus on the affected side. This observation of functional anomalies in the posterior thalamic complex in case of thalamic syndrome is compatible with a deregulated processing of pain-related information at this level.
对一例缺血性丘脑综合征患者的脑局部葡萄糖代谢进行了研究。尽管在MRI和CT图像上丘脑密度正常,但在患侧丘脑后部发现相对代谢减低17%。在丘脑综合征病例中观察到丘脑后复合体的功能异常,这与该水平疼痛相关信息处理失调相符。
