Additional Discussion:
This case demonstrates how 18-FDG PET can be used for assessment of cerebral metabolism, and corresponding functional deficits. Mesial temporal sclerosis is a well-known cause of refractory seizures. The hypometabolism in the parietal lobes has also been found in patients with Alzheimer's dementia, although often the posterior temporal lobes are involved as well.
