abstract = {Positron emission tomography (PET) of the brain using
[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is becoming increasingly
important for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of
atypical parkinsonian syndrome such as multiple system
atrophy (MSA), which is characterized by hypometabolism of
the putamen, pons, and cerebellum. We report on a patient
with clinically established MSA based on a rapidly
progressive, poorly levodopa-responsive parkinsonian
syndrome, multidomain autonomic failure, and imaging
findings where hereditary spastic paraplegia was discussed
as a differential diagnosis. PET images revealed a
well-preserved glucose metabolism in the striatum,
specifically in the putamen, while metabolism in the
cerebellum was significantly reduced. This pattern of
glucose metabolism might indicate a distinct subtype of
synucleinopathy as proven by seed-amplification assay and
should be taken into account when diagnosing patients with
MSA.},
