Regional differences in the local cerebral metabolic rate of glucose have been reported in newborn infants. This study was performed to determine if comparable differences exist in neonatal regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). In 21 infants, rCBF was measured with a modified xenon 133 (133Xe) clearance technique by means of eight extracranial detectors positioned over four homologous regions (frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital). The rCBF was lowest in the frontal region, higher in the parietal region, and highest in the temporal and occipital regions. Regional differences in rCBF may be caused by regional differences in brain development and function.
