title: [Obsessive-compulsive neurosis explored using positron emission tomography. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Regional cerebral glucose metabolic rates were studied during three sessions of positron emission tomography in an obsessive-compulsive patient. Changes in whole cortex metabolism, apparently related to the clinical relapses, were found. These preliminary findings are discussed in the light of the available literature.
