    FREMONDIERE, F., LACOEUILLE, F., SHER, A., COUTURIER, O., MENEI, P., RICHARD, I.,DINOMAIS, M. ISOTOPIC SCINTIGRAPHY COUPLED WITH COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF INTRATHECAL BACLOFEN DEVICE MALFUNCTION. ARCHIVES OF PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION. 2015. DOI: 10.1016/J.APMR.2015.10.101. SUMMARY: TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL USE OF INDIUM111 DIETHYLENETRIAMINE PENTA-ACETIC ACID (111IN-DTPA) SCINTIGRAPHY COUPLED WITH COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF ITB (INTRATHECAL BACLOFEN) DEVICE MALFUNCTION. THE COMBINATION OF SCINTIGRAPHY AND CT PROVIDES SIMULTANEOUS FUNCTIONAL AND ANATOMIC IMAGERY OF THE DEVICE. THE SLOW INFUSION OF THE RADIOISOTOPE MIMICS THE DIFFUSION OF BACLOFEN AND THIS COULD BE A USEFUL METHOD TO EXPLORE INTRATHECAL DEVICE MALFUNCTION. FURTHER STUDIES ARE REQUIRED TO COMPARE SCINTIGRAPHY COUPLED WITH CT AND RADIOPAQUE INJECTION FOLLOWED BY FLUOROSCOPY OR CT. REPORTED EVENTS: PATIENT 4 IS A (B)(6) MALE WITH HISTORY OF SPINAL CORD INJURY AND T8 SPASTIC PARAPLEGIA. THE PATIENT EXPERIENCED REDUCED ITB EFFECTIVENESS AND PRIOR CONVENTIONAL X-RAYS WERE NOT CONCLUSIVE. PLANAR SCINTIGRAPHIC ACQUISITIONS REVEALED RADIOACTIVITY IN THE CATHETER, ABRUPT END OUTSIDE THE SAS. SPECT/CT REVEALED NO ACTIVITY IN THE SAS, ABRUPT END AT L2-L3. THE PATIENT UNDERWENT SURGICAL REVISION; A CATHETER DISCONNECTION AT L3 WAS DISCOVERED. REPEAT PLANAR SCINTIGRAPHIC ACQUISITIONS REVEALED RADIOACTIVITY IN THE CATHETER, ABRUPT END OUTSIDE THE SAS. REPEAT SPECT/CT REVEALED NO ACTIVITY IN THE SAS, ABRUPT END NEXT TO THE SPINE WITH LEAKAGE BEHIND THE PUMP. THE PATIENT UNDERWENT A SECOND SURGICAL REVISION; A CATHETER FRACTURE AT THE INTERSPINOUS SPACE WAS DISCOVERED. FOLLOW-UP WAS BEING CONDUCTED FOR THE CAUSE OF THE LEAKAGE BEHIND THE PUMP. IF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS RECEIVED, A FOLLOW-UP REPORT WILL BE SENT.
