ABSTRACT
The regional cerebral blood flow of four patients with delayed carbon monoxide sequelae and four age matched controls was measured, using a xenon inhalation CT scan (GE 9800). Variable patterns of decreased cerebral blood perfusion according to the clinical state of the patient were noted among the patients. Follow up studies, 2 months later, indicated that there was a correlation between the fluctuation of symptoms and the changes in regional cerebral blood flow. It is suggested that the impairment of cerebral perfusion may play a critical role in delayed carbon monoxide sequelae.
