Hyperperfusion in CT-perfusion scan indicating focal status epilepticus

Purpose: To demonstrate hyperperfusion in the region with epileptic activity during focal status epilepticus by CT-perfusion Method: Clinical case report including EEG documentation, CT-perfusion, CT-angiography and conventional MRI Results: A 83-year old man with craniocerebral injury was admitted with the tentative diagnosis of stroke due to right hemiparesis and speech arrest. Morphological CCT revealed microangiopathy and generalized volume-reduction without early signs of ischemia or cerebral haemorrhage. CCT perfusion scan however did not show the expected localized hypoperfusion but hyperperfusion in the…
