(18)F-FDG PET/CT contribution to diagnosis and treatment response of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis.

CONCLUSION: This case suggests that (18)F-FDG PET/CT could be considered as a valuable tool for the initial staging of RCM when compared with MRI and should be performed as soon as possible after the first clinical suspicion of this disease. In addition (18)F-FDG PET/CT may also be useful for the assessment of response to treatment. PMID: 25679078 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
