A 69-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of left facial trauma with bone fractures, including the maxillary sinus, the zygomatic arch, and the ethmoid and sphenoid bones. Brain CT was unremarkable but regional cerebral blood flow withHMPAOSPECT showed hypoperfusion of the left hemisphere, which was reversible since a repeat SPECT 4 months later was unremarkable. Brain perfusion SPECT may provide information on cerebrovascular statusin some cases of facial injury.
