Bei der limbischen Enzephalitis liefert die zerebrale FDG-PET essenzielle Informationen zur Unterstützung von Diagnose, Prognose und Therapiekontrolle. Mit zunehmender Bedeutung der limbischen Enzephalitis als „not to miss“-Diagnose wird der Stellenwert der zerebralen FDG-PET bei dieser Fragestellung weiter steigen. Zudem kommt der FDG-PET-Ganzkörperaufnahme bei Verdacht auf eine paraneoplastische Genese und unauffälligem Tumorscreening in den Routineuntersuchungen eine Schlüsselrolle zu.
