Secondary changes in cerebellar perfusion (diaschisis) in hemiplegia during childhood: SPECT study of 55 XXXX .

@entity1 @entity76 @entity1545
Diaschisis is a functional impairment at a site in the brain remote from the lesion causing it. An investigation of @entity76 in childhood was undertaken to better understand the functional maturation of the corticopontocerebellar tract in developing brain. A retrospective study of @entity76 in 55 hemiplegic @entity1 was conducted using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 123I-IMP. Cerebellar diaschisis was evaluated by 2 authors. @entity76 ( @entity76 ) was found in 6 of 55 @entity1 . SPECT findings of @entity1 who presented with @entity76 disclosed supratentorial hypoperfusion of varying degrees, from focally to the whole hemisphere; however, @entity1 had frontal and/or parietal hypoperfusion in common. A second type of @entity76 also was demonstrated. @entity76 ipsilateral to supratentorial lesions, @entity76 ( @entity76 ), was observed in 10 of 55 @entity1 . @entity76 occurred in the @entity1 who suffered from @entity1545 after 7 years, 5 months of age, while @entity76 manifested in @entity1 whose @entity1545 occurred before 3 years, 1 month of age. The production of remote effects, such as @entity76 and @entity76 , could be closely related to maturation of the corticopontocerebellar tract in the developing brain during childhood.
