Neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis: preferential metabolic alterations in thalamus and posterior association cortex demonstrated by PET.

Description : Regional brain glucose utilisation was investigated with positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in four siblings with neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis. A consistent pattern was found, namely a decrease of glucose utilisation in all grey structures but more marked at the level ...
