ABSTRACT

Due to the recent incorporation of positron technology (PET) it appears interesting to review the present indications of fluor-deoxyglucose (FDG) in neuropediatric pathology. The main indication is in the evaluation of refractory epilepsy mainly in cases with negative magnetic resonance or discordance with electroencephalography Some uses in tumors are also discussed, such as tumor characterization and differentiation between radionecrosis and recurrence. The experience between years 2003 and 2007 at the Santiago Military Hospital, using FDG in 66 children and adolescents cases with diverse neurological indications was reviewed.


La incorporación relativamente reciente en nuestro medio de la tecnología de positrones (PET) nos motivó a revisar el uso actual de la flúor-deoxiglucosa (FDG) en neuropediatría. La principal indicación es la evaluación de epilepsia refractaria, especialmente en casos de resonancia magnética negativa o discordancia de ésta con los hallazgos electroencefalográficos. Algunas utilizaciones en tumores también son discutidas, como la caracterización tumoralyla diferenciación entre radionecrosis y recurrencia. Se revisa la casuística del Centro PET del Hospital Militar de Santiago entre los años 2003 y 2007, que comprende 66 casos de niños y adolescentes estudiados con metabolismo glucídico con diversas patologías neurológicas.
