    Abstract

    Single photon emission computed tomography assessments were conducted in normal controls (n = 25), patients with unilateral cerebellar infarctions (n = 4), patients with olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA; n = 15) and patients with Friedreich's ataxia (FA; n = 6). In subjects with unilateral cerebellar infarctions, crossed cerebellar-cortical diaschisis was observed: reduced cerebellar hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) uptake was invariably accompanied by a diminution of HMPAO in the contralateral basal ganglia and frontoparietal cortex. OPCA and FA patients had various degrees of decreased HMPAO uptake in both the cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres.
