Abstract:Background
Pediatric autoimmune encephalitis (AE) with seizures is prone to be misdiagnosed as epilepsy. However, epilepsy and AE are treated differently. We aimed to find a method that can identify AE in children with seizures through F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose(18F-FDG) positron emission tomography(PET) with good diagnostic specificity.
Results
We retrospectively collected data from suspected autoimmune encephalitis children with seizures from May 14, 2019, to April 30, 2021, who had brain 18F-FDG PET/CT. 59 p… Show more
