To study the pathophysiological mechanisms of hyperventilation-induced EEG showing, i.e., the so-called 'buildup' phenomenon, changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were investigated before and during the phenomenon in a 16-year-old woman with headache, thought to be of neurotic origin, by subtraction technique of brain images with single photon emission computed tomography using technetium-99m hexamethyl-propyleneamine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO). The tracer uptake during buildup decreased by 31-42% as compared to baseline values at rest before buildup in all of the measured regions, reflecting a widespread reduction in rCBF. Gas analyses of arterial blood collected during buildup showed a decrease in PaCO2, and increases in PaO2 and pH with a slight decrease in blood pressure and an increase in pulse rate. These results directly demonstrate a close correlation between the hyperventilation-induced EEG and rCBF changes, suggesting that the buildup phenomenon results from cerebral ischemic change, presumably due to cerebral vasoconstriction caused by the PaCO2 decrease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006985 Hyperventilation A pulmonary ventilation rate faster than is metabolically necessary for the exchange of gases. It is the result of an increased frequency of breathing, an increased tidal volume, or a combination of both. It causes an excess intake of oxygen and the blowing off of carbon dioxide. Hyperventilations

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
