Unexpected -[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose accumulation in subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an aneurysm rupture.


ABSTRACT: A 79-year-old Asian man with paranasal cancer underwent 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) to evaluate metastatic lesions. Unexpected FDG accumulation during subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an aneurysm rupture visualized with FDG-PET/CT. It is rare to encounter life-threatening diseases in FDG-PET/CT because FDG-PET/CT is usually scheduled beforehand. However, an immediate response is warranted in unexpected conditions. Physicians who perform FDG-PET/CT should be familiar with life-threatening FDG-PET findings.
