Maladie de Horton et atteintes artérielles extratemporales : utilité de la tomographie par émission de positons au 18FDG. À propos de trois observations et d'une revue de la littérature

Abstract: RésuméPropos. -Chez trois patients atteints de maladie de Horton (MH), la tomographie par émission de positons (TEP) au 18 F-fluoro-2-déoxy-D-glucose ( 18 FDG) a montré un hypermétabolisme artériel au niveau de localisations extratemporales asymptomatiques. Méthodes. -Une TEP au 18 FDG a été réalisée chez 3 patients présentant un syndrome inflammatoire inexpliqué. L'examen a été pratiqué chez des sujets à jeun, 60 min après injection intraveineuse de 222 MBq de 18 FDG en moyenne. Résultats. -Dans les 3 observa… Show more

“…Lastly positron emission tomography (PET) with 18 FDG, a noninvasive metabolic imaging modality that is well-suited to the assessment of activity and extent of large vessel vasculitis, also appears to be a promising technique. Contrary to the previous radiological examinations, it can detect vasculitis lesions all over the body and it is more sensitive to show inflammatory vascular wall process (Belhocine et al 2002 ;Liozon et al2010 ) (figures 1-3); these data suggest the potential clinical interest of the PET in the vascular disease activity, extension and follow-up of patients with GCA (figure 4).…”
