Changes in cerebral glucose metabolism after subarachnoid hemorrhage have been rarely described. We present a case with subacute subarachnoid hemorrhage showing unexpected elevated FDG uptake at adjacent cerebral parenchyma on FDG PET/CT. The density of the cerebral parenchyma was normal on CT. The patient received medical management without any neurological complication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
