Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Sur les douze sujets étudiés et consommant de la cocaïne, onze présentent des anomalies dont sept asymptomatiques. Sept sujets présentent des déficits du cortex, plus précisément sur les lobes frontaux et temporaux. Article ayant fait l'objet d'une communication au Premier Colloque International organisé à l'Académie Nationale de Médecine : Physiopathologie des stupéfiants, Paris, 31 Mai 1990.
ENGLISH :
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) perfusion brain scans with iodine-123 isopropyl iodoamphetamine (IMP) were obtained in 12 subjects who acknowledged using cocaine on a sporadic to a daily basis. Brain scans demonstrated focal defects in 11 subjects, including seven who were asymptomatic, and no abnormality in one. Among the findings were scattered focal cortical deficits, which were seen in several patients and which ranged in severity from small and few to multiple and large, with a special predilection for the frontal and temporal lobes.
