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...

Indolent nonendemic central nervous system histoplasmosis presenting as an isolated intramedullary enhancing spinal cord lesion
CONCLUSION: Disseminated histoplasmosis should be considered in granulomatous disease, even if the patient resides in a nonendemic region. Furthermore, clinicians should be mindful that CNS histoplasmosis may present in an atypical fashion.PMID:34513158 | PMC:PMC8422457 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_345_2021
