Along with normalization of the hematocrit and clinical symptoms after consecutive phlebotomies, the FDG PET scan and 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT images returned towards normal. It is hypothesized that the development of polycythemia chorea is associated with a reversible alteration in the corticobasal ganglia metabolism and disturbed dopaminergic function.
