Abstract
Regional brain glucose metabolism has been studied in a case of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with ragged red fibers, using positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose as the tracer. A marked decrease in glucose utilization was found in all gray structures, with a preponderance of metabolic alterations in posterior cortical regions and thalamus and a relative sparing of anterior cortical areas and basal nuclei.Entities:
