Abstract
A case of deep high energy electrical burn of the skull is presented. For assessment of bone regrowth and muscle flap viability after application of latissimus dorsi free flap, combined Tc-99m MDP bone SPELT and Tc-99m sestamibi muscle SPELT scintigraphy were used. Whereas Tc-99m MDP bone SPELT showed absent uptake at the beginning, there was good uptake 3 months after flap application. Tc-99m sestamibi SPELT revealed good uptake indicating normal perfusion of flap muscle tissue. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd and ISBI. All rights reserved.
