- FIGURE 1.
18F-FDG brain, whole-body PET, and brain MRI findings. (A and B) Brain 18F-FDG PET sagittal and axial slices showing diffuse cortical hypometabolism associated with putaminal and cerebellum hypermetabolism (A), confirmed by SPM comparison to 20 healthy elderly subjects (B) (P < 0.001, k > 600). (C and D) Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT showing slight lung and hilar lymph node hypermetabolism on maximum-intensity projection (C) and axial fused slices (D), matching pseudonodular retractile consolidation postinfectious findings on CT, without straightforward argument for neoplasia. (E) Axial slices from T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI of putamen and cerebellum showing no abnormalities.

Immunostaining of neuronal nuclei; 25-μm sections were obtained from frozen rat nerve tissue and incubated with different dilutions of serum or CSF and peroxidase-labeled anti-IgG antisera. Immunostaining was revealed in presence of 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole. This NDP.view2 (Hamamatsu) figure shows labeling with CSF diluted to one sixth on nuclei of Purkinje cells in cerebellum, as well as striatal and hippocampal neurons.
