Abstract

Twenty-two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and 13 healthy controls were included in a cerebral blood flow study and underwent brain-dedicated sin gle-photon emission computed tomography using (99m)technetium-d, 1-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime together with a brain computed tomography scan. Plasma levels of antiphospholipid anitibodies (lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin IgM and IgG antibodies) were- also determined. Brain computed tomography showed: signs of focal cerebral ischemia in 4 patients (18%), whereas cerebral blood flow by single-photon emission computed tomography was abnormal in 13 of 22 patients (59%), who showed bilateral or monolateral hypoperfusion in the temporo-parietal regions. Patients with abnormal cerebral blood flow had a longer duration of disease than those with normal blood flow (8.9 ± 1.9 years vs. 5.3 ± 1.5 years, P
