<scp> <sup>18</sup> F </scp> ‐ <scp>FDG PET</scp> / <scp>CT</scp> Reveals Characteristic Prefrontal‐Posterior Cingulate Hypometabolism in <scp>anti‐AMPAR</scp> Encephalitis to Understand Cerebral Function: Insights From an Eight‐Patient Cohort
Anti-AMPAR encephalitis usually presents as limbic encephalitis and is marked by prefrontal and posterior cingulate hypometabolism on <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT. In some instances, hypermetabolism was observed in the basal ganglia or temporal lobes, possibly reflecting the local blood flow.
