Serial 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose Positron Emmission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis Arch Neurol 61:1785-1789, Scheid,R.,et al, 2004 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The results of functional and structural imaging in PLE may differ substantially. Results of FDG-PET can demonstrate focal hypermetabolism over a long time, which may indicate therapeutic potential. A prospective study with more patients will be needed to clarify the relevance of PET as a possible outcome measure in PLE. Future studies should include scalp or semi-invasive electroencephalographic recordings during PET acquisition.
