摘要：

Most regional cerebral blood flow studies in persons with major unipolar depression reveal hypoperfusion in the frontal regions. Conversely, anatomic frontal lesions may cause depressive symptoms. A brain SPECT study was performed using Tc-99m ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) in a 37-year-old woman who was thought to have major unipolar depression. Intense tracer uptake in the frontal lobes corresponding to gliomatosis cerebri (grade III astrocytoma) was found. Although rare, frontal lesions may be responsible for depressive symptoms, and brain tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a focal increase of ECD uptake.
