Pathology in resected areas of [18F]FDG PET hypometabolism in pediatric epilepsy patients with focal cortical dysplasia

2026-06-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction: </h4> [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) frequently reveals hypometabolism extending beyond the epileptogenic zone in focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). However, it is unclear whether these peripheral hypometabolic areas harbour pathological cells potentially contributing to seizure generation. This study characterized histopathology in the lesion epicentre vs borders of...
