Cerebral glucose metabolism in Fisher syndrome.
BACKGROUND Fisher syndrome (FS) is characterised by a triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia. The lesion sites responsible for ataxia and ophthalmoplegia in FS require further exploration. The aim of this study was to determine the involvement of the central nervous system in FS using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). METHODS Cerebral glucose metabolism ...
متن کاملCerebral glucose metabolism in obsessive-compulsive hoarding.
OBJECTIVE Compulsive hoarding and saving symptoms, found in many patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), are part of a discrete clinical syndrome that includes indecisiveness, disorganization, perfectionism, procrastination, and avoidance and has been associated with poor response to medications and cognitive behavior therapy. The authors sought to identify cerebral metabolic pattern...
متن کاملChanges in cerebral glucose metabolism in patients with Parkinson disease with dementia after cholinesterase inhibitor therapy.
UNLABELLED We investigated changes in cerebral glucose metabolism after cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) therapy in patients with Parkinson disease dementia (PDD) to determine whether cognitive improvements would be reflected in changes of cerebral metabolic patterns, thus offering insight into the neural substrate of cognitive dysfunction in patients with PDD. METHODS We performed a serial PE...
متن کاملGlucose metabolism and Alzheimer's disease.
The brain is the organ with the highest basal rate of glucose consumption. Most of the energy generated by the oxidation of glucose is used for the work necessary to maintain the ionic balances associated with synaptic transmission. When the nervous system is subjected to the oxidative stress of age-associated disease, there is a redistribution of glucose breakdown to pathways that more efficie...
متن کاملRegional cerebral glucose metabolism and blood flow in a patient with Marchiafava-Bignami disease.
We report functional neuroimaging studies of a 54-year-old man with Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD). Glucose metabolic images obtained by [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography showed diffusely reduced whole brain metabolism and strongly decreased metabolism in the frontal and parietal lobes, orbital gyrus, and thalamus. Cerebral perfusion images showed a similarly decr...
