Contribution of nuclear medicine to the diagnosis and management of primary brain tumours
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2023 Mar 16:S0035-3787(23)00874-3. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2023.03.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPositron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful tool that can help physicians manage primary brain tumours at diagnosis and follow-up. In this context, PET imaging is used with three main types of radiotracers: 18F-FDG, amino acid radiotracers, and 68Ga conjugated to somatostatin receptor ligands (SSTRs). At initial diagnosis, 18F-FDG helps to characterize primary central nervous system (PCNS) lymphomas and high-grade gliomas, amino acid radiotracers are indicated for gliomas, and SSTR PET ligands are in...

Provocative Hyperventilation in a Patient With SMART
This case report describes a patient with stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy with recurrent and transient neurological deficits in whom provocative hyperventilation during routine electroencephalography was key for the diagnosis of seizures.

Stroke-Like Migraine Attacks After Radiation Therapy (SMART) Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
AbstractPurpose of ReviewSMART syndrome is a delayed complication of cranial irradiation that can be misconstrued as tumor recurrence or some other intracranial neurological disease. Recognition of this clinical syndrome is imperative as it can obviate the need for invasive diagnostic testing and can provide reassurance to both the patient and their loved ones.Recent FindingsSMART syndrome is generally considered a reversible clinical syndrome; however, neurological deficits may become permanent. Pathophysiology of SMART syndrome may involve cerebrovascular autoregulation impairment, neuronal dysfunction leading to trigemi...

SMART Syndrome Identification and Successful Treatment
We report a 41-year-old male patient admitted to our emergency room with a reduced level of consciousness and global aphasia. One month prior to admission, he started with frequent headache attacks of moderate intensity and paroxysmal behavioral alterations, advancing to confusion, gait instability, language impairment, and somnolence. He had a history of medulloblastoma treated with surgical resection followed by craniospinal irradiation 21 years before symptom onset. After excluding more frequent causes for the patient ’s symptoms along with a suggestive image pattern, we started treatment for SMART syndrome with high-...

Lacunar stroke as a very late complication of radiotherapy: value of nuclear medicine techniques.
CONCLUSIONS: The reappearance of neurological symptoms years after radiotherapy of a brain neoplasm poses a diagnostic dilemma. Current diagnostic techniques are very accurate but present false positives. The various nuclear medicine techniques, in particular PET-CT 11C-methionine, are a diagnostic aid. With the presentation of this case we intend to draw attention to one of the late complications of radiation therapy and the various differential diagnoses. Diagnostic and therapeutic advances have increased the life expectancy of cancer patients, so these late complications are expected to be more frequent. PMID: 3331...
