چکیده
La enfermedad de Rasmussen es una enfermedad cerebral cróica, inflamatoria, que afecta a un solo hemisferio y se caracteriza or su curso progresivo con crisis convulsivas, resistentes al trataiento anticomicial1. Suetiología es incierta. Se relaciona con la infecciónpordistintos irus neurotropos, la existencia de anticuerpos contra el receptor del glutamato cerebral (anti-GluR3), anticuerpos antidescarboxiasa del ácido glutámico (anti-GAD) o la mediación celular T en el roceso inflamatorio cerebral1. Se engloba dentro de las epilepsias catastróficas y actualmente l único tratamiento eficaz es la hemisferectomía funcional, que uele aplicarse en estadios precoces de la enfermedad1. La experiencia del uso de la tomografía por emisión de positroes (PET) utilizando la 2-(18F)-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucosa (FDG) en a neurología pediátrica es limitada2. Algunos autores han demosrado que la 18F-FDG PET es mejor que la resonancia magnética RM) concomitante para detectar las lesiones y su extensión de una anera temprana en la enfermedad de Rasmussen3. Presentamos una niña de 5 años, que en mayo del 2010 esarrolló una hemiparesia derecha de forma brusca, con crisis ioclónicas y clónicas lateralizadas hacia el lado derecho, de preominio en la comisura bucal y extremidad superior derecha. osteriormente se añadieron crisis tónico-clónicas generalizaas y status convulsivo. Fue ingresada en la UVI pediátrica con obre respuesta a la medicación anticomicial. Más tarde desrrolló una epilepsia parcial continua, un deterioro cognitivo

Introduction:Brain imaging with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography or Tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO) SPECT is widely used for the evaluation of Alzheimer's dementia (AD); we aim to assess superiority of one method over the other. Methods: Twenty four patients with clinical diagnosi...
