Abstract

Wereport two unusual cases of suppurative meningomyelitis and ventriculitiswhichwere successfully detected by FDG PET/CT. The extent of disease and response to treatment were well-delineated. Our data suggest that FDG PET/CT may be clinically useful in patients with rare infections of the central nervous system.
