Abstract
Two brothers with neuroacanthocytosis had [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose PET scans showing marked glucose hypometabolism of the caudate and putamen. MRIs showed no evidence of atrophy or modification of signal intensity in these structures. Decreased glucose utilization of the striatum can underlie hyperkinetic movement disorders of various etiologies.Entities:
