[18F]FDG-PET reveals early postoperative cortical dysfunction after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Reversible neuronal dysfunction after STN-DBS surgery can be detected by [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG-PET along the electrode trajectory. Preoperative MFG metabolism and age were associated with postoperative neuropsychiatric SE supporting the use of PET to improve patient selection and postoperative care concepts.
