Diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis presents some challenges in the clinical setting
because of varied clinical presentations and delay in obtaining antibody panel results. We …

Objective To consolidate current understanding of detection sensitivity of brain 18 F-FDG
PET scans in the diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis and to define specific metabolic …

Brain positron emission tomography imaging with 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-
PET) has demonstrated utility in suspected autoimmune encephalitis. Visual and/or assisted …

Objective: To compare the rate of abnormal brain metabolism by FDG-PET/CT to other
paraclinical findings and to describe brain metabolism patterns in autoimmune encephalitis …

In parallel to the detection of new neuronal autoantibodies, the diagnosis of non-infectious
limbic encephalitis has risen. Given that cerebral imaging studies show highly variable …

Abstract Purpose F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is
emerging to be a useful tool in supporting the diagnosis of AIE. In this study, we describe the …

Purpose Autoimmune limbic encephalitis (ALE) is a severe, but treatable, neuropsychiatric
disorder that is difficult to diagnose clinically. With the goal of improving diagnosis of this …

[18F] FDG PET is currently the most commonly used functional imaging method for the in
vivo investigation of regional brain metabolism in clinical practice. PET/CT scanners are …

Abstract Purpose FDG PET/CT is emerging as a new tool for the evaluation of acute
encephalitis (AE). However, to date, there are no exclusively pediatric studies on the use of …

Objective: To compare brain metabolism patterns on fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/CT in
anti–NMDA receptor and other definite autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and to assess how …
