Figure 6

16-year-old boy with temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis in the right mesial temporal lobe on MRI. (a) MRI shows abnormal high signal intensity in the right mesial temporal lobe (hippocampal region). (b) FDG PET scan shows a focal reduction of FDG uptake in the right mesial temporal lobe (hippocampal region). (c) MRI-PET fusion image illustrating that the reduction in FDG corresponds to the region of MRI increase in signal intensity.
