2 Fig. 1 A) EMG study of the right biceps demonstrated a fasciculation potential (arrow). B) EMG study of the tongue demonstrated a fasciculation potential (arrow). C) DW-MRI of the brain 4months after onset did not reveal high-intensity lesions. D) DW-MRI of the brain 12months after onset revealed high-intensity lesions in the left motor cortex. E) Images reconstructed using the three-dimensional stereotactic surface projection (3D–SSP) technique. After global normalization to mean blood flow for the entire brain, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in each subgroup was compared with that of the normal control group by the Z test. Color-coding represents the statistical significance (Z-score) of the decrease in rCBF. Red represents more significant rCBF reduction. This study at 4months after onset demonstrated hypoperfusion in the bilateral frontal and temporal lobes.
