The authors describe a case of post-traumatic cerebral fat embolism in a 17-year-old patient. SPECT with HM-PAO was used in this case to confirm the suspected diagnosis: where CT and evoked potentials were negative, SPECT showed the changes in vascular flow at the level of the frontal lobes responsible for the vegetative state of the patient. SPECT is therefore a valuable method for the early definition of the conditions of patients in a vegetative state.
作者描述了一名17岁患者发生创伤后脑脂肪栓塞的病例。该病例使用了锝泮替酸葡甲胺单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）来确诊疑似诊断：在计算机断层扫描（CT）和诱发电位均为阴性的情况下，SPECT显示额叶水平的血管血流变化，这与患者的植物人状态有关。因此，SPECT是早期明确植物人患者病情的一种有价值的方法。
