title: Findings of multiple neuritis on FDG PET/CT imaging.
abstract: A 56-year-old woman with weight loss, facial pain, and weakness underwent FDG PET/CT to detect a tumor of unknown origin. The images did not detect any lesion typical of malignancy. However, elevated FDG activity in several cranial and peripheral nerves was noted and suggestive of multiple neuritis. Following therapy for neuritis, the patient's symptoms improved.
