Recurrent glioma and crossed cerebellar diaschisis in a patient examined with 18F-DOPA and 18F-FDG PET/CT.

چکیده
Two years after resection of a left parietal glioma, a 46-year-old woman underwent F-FDG and F-DOPA brain PET/CT. FDG showed left parietal hypometabolism with crossed cerebellar diaschisis. No abnormally increased FDG activity was seen. F-DOPA PET/CT scan demonstrated focal left parietal uptake. Recurrent glioma was confirmed by surgical biopsy. F-DOPA may demonstrate abnormal amino acid metabolism in evaluation of recurrence of glioma.
