Abstract:
We report the FDG PET findings in a patient with Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) in whom there was diffusely reduced metabolism in the whole brain cortex and strongly decreased metabolism in the thalami. The use of FDG PET helps provide an understanding of the neurologic manifestations and prognosis of MBD.
