title: Serial positron emission tomography with fludeoxyglucose F 18 in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
abstract: We serially examined a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease using fludeoxyglucose F 18 and positron emission tomography. Marked cerebral hypometabolism reflected clinical deterioration in the early stages of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease when no parenchymal abnormalities were present on MR imaging.
