<scp>FDG</scp> ‐ <scp>PET</scp> Associations With Disease Severity and Outcomes in <scp>NMDA</scp> ‐Receptor <scp>IgG</scp> Autoimmune Encephalitis
In patients with NMDAR-IgG AE, occipital lobe hypometabolism on baseline bFDG-PET is correlated with mRS and CASE scores at the time of diagnosis and mRS scores 1 year later, suggesting that bFDG-PET findings correlate with disease severity and longitudinal outcomes. However, studies with larger patient populations are needed to confirm these findings.
