abstract = {A recent study reported on high, longer lasting and finally
reversible cerebral uptake of
O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine ([18F]FET) induced by
epileptic activity. Therefore, we examined cerebral [18F]FET
uptake in two chemically induced rat epilepsy models and in
patients with focal epilepsy to further investigate whether
this phenomenon represents a major pitfall in brain tumor
diagnostics and whether [18F]FET may be a potential marker
to localize epileptic foci.Five rats underwent kainic acid
titration to exhibit 3 to 3.5 h of class IV–V motor
seizures (status epilepticus, SE). Rats underwent 4×
[18F]FET PET and 4× MRI on the following 25 days. Six rats
underwent kindling with pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) 3 to
8×/week over 10 weeks, and hence, seizures increased from
class I to class IV. [18F]FET PET and MRI were performed
regularly on days with and without seizures. Four rats
served as healthy controls. Additionally, five patients with
focal epilepsy underwent [18F]FET PET within 12 days after
the last documented seizure.No abnormalities in [18F]FET PET
or MRI were detected in the kindling model. The SE model
showed significantly decreased [18F]FET uptake 3 days after
SE in all examined brain regions, and especially in the
amygdala region, which normalized within 2 weeks.
Corresponding signal alterations in T2-weighted MRI were
noted in the amygdala and hippocampus, which recovered 24
days post-SE. No abnormality of cerebral [18F]FET uptake was
noted in the epilepsy patients.There was no evidence for
increased cerebral [18F]FET uptake after epileptic seizures
neither in the rat models nor in patients. The SE model even
showed decreased [18F]FET uptake throughout the brain. We
conclude that epileptic seizures per se do not cause a
longer lasting increased [18F]FET accumulation and are
unlikely to be a major cause of pitfall for brain tumor
diagnostics.},
