PET - Epilepsy
A 17-year-old female was sent for brain FDG-PET scan because of intractable complex partial seizures. On MR, there was a suspicion of mild left frontal lobe atrophy. Video EEG spotted a source in the left frontal lobe. PET showed a significant decrease of FDG uptake of the left temporal lobe and of the left frontal lobe adjacent to the left superior temporal gyrus (arrows). Six months after resection of the left frontotemporal focus, she is symptom free.
