چکیده

A 51-y-old man underwent (18)F-FDG PET for disease restaging of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Initial attenuation correction images demonstrated unilateral hemispheric cerebral hypometabolic activity. The remainder of the scan was otherwise unremarkable. Non-attenuation correction images demonstrated a patient motion artifact attributable to lateral movement of the patient's head during image acquisition. Subsequent repeat (18)F-FDG PET showed normal cerebral cortical activity.

BACKGROUND Fabry disease is a rare metabolic glycosphingolipid storage disease caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A--leading to cellular accumulation of globotriasylceramide in different organs, vessels, tissues, and nerves. The disease is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease at a young age in addition to heart and kidney failure. OBJECTIVE Th...

18F-FDG PET/CT in pachygyria during evaluation for seizure disorder

Pachygyria or incomplete lissencephaly is a developmental condition due to abnormal migration of neurons. The association of seizures in this condition warrants investigation like electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 18F-flurodeoxyglucose positron emission topography computed topography (18F-FDG PET/CT) has a potential role in commenting of wide...
