Abstract

99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT/CT has been used to evaluate parkinsonian disorders. We present an interesting case of a 63-year-old woman with progressive tremulousness over the left side of the body for 6 months. Bilateral thalamic glioma with reduced uptake was shown on 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT/CT. Secondary parkinsonism was impressed in this case.
