Preliminary clinical study in patients with hemispatial neglect after stroke by neglect test battery and 99mTc-ECD single-photon emission computed tomography

The severity of neglect did not correlate with rCBF and the decreased percentage of rCBF in the foci, while it was significantly correlated with the range, number of foci, the flow deficit size and the total numbers of pixels of the foci significantly. And the patients with CN and IN did not show any difference in the presence of HSN, the manifestation on the neglect test battery and SPECT images. HSN showed damage on multiple sites, with combined damages resulting in more severe neglect.
