Abstract
Due to the recent incorporation of positron technology (PET) it appears interesting to review the present indications of fluor-deoxyglucose (FDG) in neuropediatric pathology. The main indication is in the evaluation of refractory epilepsy mainly in cases with negative magnetic resonance or discordance with electroencephalography Some uses in tumors are also discussed, such as tumor characterization and differentiation between radionecrosis and recurrence. The experience between years 2003 and 2007 at the Santiago Military Hospital, using FDG in 66 children and adolescents cases with diverse neurological indications was reviewed.
