Neurological focal symptoms retreated at all patients up to 24 hours. Obtained results were compared with a control group. The study was based on data gained in total of 50 patients (24 male, 26 female, mean age 50 years, range 37-70). The brain perfusion was assessed by SPECT examination with gamma-camera device (Elscint type Apex SP-6 HR). All patients underwent Computed Tomography (CT) and Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography, where no significant pathology was found. Obtained results allowed to divide patients into three groups: I perfusion disturbances were found in temporal lobe (14 patients), II perfusion disturbances in occipital lobe (II patients), III no pathology was found. Results SPECT diagnosis is one of the most sensitive methods of the brain perfusion evaluation. The brain perfusion evaluation allows finding vascular originated pathology. Multidimensional microcirculation visualization of the existing symptoms correlates with patient's clinical status.
