Abstract
A pair of 123I‐FP‐CIT SPECT scans from a patient with parkinsonism and slowly progressive short‐striding gait due to hydrocephalus from aqueductal stenosis. The scan on the left was taken before and that on the right after third ventriculostomy, which relieved the hydrocephalus. The ventriculostomy improved her gait and performance on the UPDRS III rating scale as well as the binding of 123I‐FP‐CIT to dopamine transporter in dopaminergic terminals in the striatum. See Nishida and Yokota, pp. 326–327 in this issue.
