Abstract
•Two unusual CNS infection cases were successfully detected by FDG PET/CT.•FDG PET/CT may have implications for the comprehensive assessment.•Exploitation of FDG PET/CT for detecting rare CNS infections seems justified.
We report two unusual cases of suppurative meningomyelitis and ventriculitis which were successfully detected by FDG PET/CT. The extent of disease and response to treatment were well-delineated. Our data suggest that FDG PET/CT may be clinically useful in patients with rare infections of the central nervous system.
