(a) CT volumetric rendering technique (VRT) images showing fusion of left fronto-parieto-temporo-occipital lobe sutures preoperatively (A) and release of all these sutures postoperatively (B). (b) -ECD brain SPECT preoperatively showing absent radiotracer uptake involving left fronto-parieto-temporo-occipital lobe suggestive of hypoperfusion, upper panel images axial (A), sagittal (B), and coronal (C), and postoperatively showing increased radiotracer uptake involving left fronto-parieto-temporo-occipital lobe suggestive of improved perfusion, lower panel images axial (A), sagittal (B), and coronal (C).
