Cortical metabolic characteristics of anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 antibody encephalitis based on ¹⁸F-FDG PET.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A general glucose metabolism pattern is observed in patients with anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibody encephalitis; however, it is unclear whether further subregional metabolic differences exist. Therefore, the present study aimed to conduct an in-depth exploration of the features of glucose metabolism within specific brain areas using ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET).

Materials and methods

This retrospective study enrolled thirteen patients confirmed with LGI1 antibody encephalitis who were admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital from June 2021 to September 2022. All patients underwent ¹⁸F-FDG PET before initiating clinical treatment. Changes in glucose metabolism in specific brain are
