Abstract

Changes in cerebral glucose metabolism after acute intracranial hemorrhage have been rarely described. We present a patient with abnormal cerebral FDG accumulation in acute intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages due to different mechanisms on FDG PET/CT. The patient received conservative management and died 2 months later. This case demonstrated the different mechanisms of cerebral FDG accumulation in different types of intracranial hemorrhage, which may be helpful for future research to optimize patient care.
