A unique presentation of appendicitis: F-18 FDG PET/CT.

abstract：:We reported a 24-year-old woman who developed a movement disorder of mouth and limbs during systemic lupus erythematosus. Brain MRI did not find any abnormalities. Increased FDG uptake in basal ganglia was found using FDG PET/CT brain scan. The symptoms remitted after therapy and the activities of the original hyperme...
