18F-FDG PET imaging predicts the epileptogenic zone prospectively in recurrent cryptogenic meningoencephalitis and with subsequent simple partial visual seizures.

We present a case of 18F-FDG PET imaging in a patient with recurrent cryptogenic meningoencephalitis. 18F-FDG PET imaging after resolution of the encephalitis revealed hypometabolism in previous hypermetabolic areas. Hence, the initial 18F-FDG PET scan prospectively predicted the epileptogenic zone/seizure onset zone (EZ/SOZ). PMID: 33219155 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
