Atrophic brain changes, notably on frontotemporal lobes.
From the case:
Frontotemporal dementia (FDG PET-CT)
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/106978/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
There is marked hypometabolism in the frontal lobes bilaterally. Moderate hypometabolism is also seen in the lateral parietal lobes. Uptake in the precuneus is relatively preserved. The pattern would be most in keeping with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia.
