摘要
A 25-year-old woman underwent interictal F-18 FDG PET for evaluation of long-standing intractable epilepsy. She had no sign or family history of tuberous sclerosis, and she demonstrated no interictal neurologic deficit. PET showed periventricular and deep white matter FDG metabolism that was congruent anatomically to the pattern of nodular gray matter heterotopia (GMH) demonstrated on MRI. This case adds information concerning the spectrum of interictal FDG metabolism within GMH, when it is performed without activation task. It further illustrates the importance of recognizing GMH to avoid their misinterpretation as independent, subclinical ictal foci.
