Magnetic resonance imaging coronal sections of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images on first examination. The calcarine sulcus (arrow) and collateral sulcus (arrow head) were broader on the right than the left. The finding was temporo-parieto-occipital lobe atrophy with right-side dominance.

Positron emission tomography (PET) was carried out 7 months after first examination: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET revealed right hemihypometabolism, especially from the inferior lateral temporal lobe to the lateral occipital lobe (Figure 2). 11C-labeled Pittsburgh Compound-B PET showed no accumulation of amyloid beta in the cerebral cortex.
Magnetic resonance imaging coronal sections of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images 11 months after first examination showed progression of temporo-parieto-occipital lobe atrophy with right-side dominance.

Eleven months after the first examination magnetic resonance imaging (Figure 4) and SPECT using eZIS (Figure 5) showed progression of temporo-parieto-occipital lobe atrophy with right-side dominance.
99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer SPECT using the eZIS 11 months after first examination showed decreased blood flow in the temporo-parieto-occipital lobe with right-side dominance.
