The pathophysiology of deafferentation-induced changes after stroke remains unclear. Some supratentorial strokes cause persistent decreases in blood flow and metabolism in the contralateral cerebellum (persistent crossed cerebellar diaschisis[CCD]). Our previous study showed uncoupling of oxygen consumption and blood flow in this condition, which may reflect a characteristic change in brain metabolism caused by deafferentation. This uncoupling might be related to oxidation of some substrates other than blood-borne glucose, which could also lead to the uncoupling of oxygen consumption and glucose utilization. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether oxygen consumption is uncoupled from glucose utilization in persistent CCD.
