Comparative StudyA study comparing SPECT and MRI in patients with anosmia after traumatic brain injury.
The initial or first clinical presentation of altered sensation of smell is directly linked to the degree of impaired sensitivity. We took the opportunity to examine normal and nonspecific MRI findings in 6 patients with known anosmia after traumatic brain injury with perfusion SPECT brain imaging. ⋯ This study identified altered blood perfusion pattern in otherwise normal anatomic structures on MRI.
