Evolution of Brain Glucose Metabolic Abnormalities in Children With Epilepsy and SCN1A Gene Variants.

Abstract excerpt

Three children with drug-refractory epilepsy, normal magnetic resonance image (MRI), and a heterozygous SCN1A variant underwent 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scanning between age 6 months and 1 year and then at age 3 years 6 months to 5 years 5 months.
