A patient with spasms of the neck, occurring when he turned his head to the left, responded to treatment with benzhexol. Cerebral blood flow imaging demonstrated reduced uptake in the right corpus striatum compared with the left. The study demonstrates the presence of an abnormality in the basal ganglia; it also illustrates response to drug treatment. Cerebral blood flow imaging may be useful in the detection of basal ganglia abnormalities in spasmodic torticollis and assist in the selection of cases which should be targeted for treatment with drugs.
一名患者在向左转头时出现颈部痉挛，使用苯海索治疗有效。与左侧相比，脑血流成像显示右侧纹状体摄取减少。该研究证明基底神经节存在异常；它还说明了对药物治疗的反应。脑血流成像可能有助于检测痉挛性斜颈中的基底神经节异常，并有助于选择应使用药物治疗的病例。
