Abstract
A 22-year-old man visited the emergency department with chest pain. He had received a second dose of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA (Moderna) vaccine 5 days prior. 18F-FDG PET/MR revealed a focal FDG uptake and late gadolinium enhancement on the basal posterolateral wall of the left ventricle. Myocarditis after a COVID-19 vaccination has been reported predominantly after the second dose of mRNA vaccines in young men. This was a case of acute focal myocarditis after a COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, which was well-visualized by FDG PET/MRI.
