Extra-striatal Uptake of 99mTc-TRODAT SPECT in a Cerebral Meningioma: A Case Report

We reported a 71 years old woman, with history of rest and postural tremor, bradykinesia and memory problems. In her dynamic MRI, a contrast-enhanced tumor in the cerebellopontine (CP) angle was found which was compatible with a meningioma. 99m Tc-TRODAT SPECT showed decreased activity in the left p...

Summary:We reported a 71 years old woman, with history of rest and postural tremor, bradykinesia and memory problems. In her dynamic MRI, a contrast-enhanced tumor in the cerebellopontine (CP) angle was found which was compatible with a meningioma. 99m Tc-TRODAT SPECT showed decreased activity in the left putamen, indicating idiopathic Parkinson disease. There was also a focus of increased activity on the right side of the skull base, which was compatible with meningioma in MRI.
