Abstract:
We examined alteration of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in a case of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patient with musical hallucination. To detect regions related to musical hallucination, single–photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of the patient and nine sex, age, and cognitive functionmatched AD patients without delusions and hallucinations were compared using statistical parametric mapping 99 (SPM99). In comparison with controls, the patient had increased rCBF in left temporal regions and left angular gyrus. This profile could be relevant to the neuroanatomical basis of musical hallucinations. This work had been carried out at the Higher Brain Function Clinic of the Ehime University Hospital.
Keywords:single–  photon emission computed tomography  regional cerebral blood flow  musical hallucination  Alzheimer's disease  superior temporal gyrus
