Abstract
⺠The relationship of extent of severe hypometabolism (on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography) to IQ outcome is U-shaped. ⺠Small extent of severe hypometabolism is associated with good cognitive function. ⺠Large extent may also be associated with preserved (although not normal) IQ outcome. ⺠When the extent of severe hypometabolism is < 15%, a good outcome is probable. ⺠As the area of severe hypometabolism increases > 60%, IQ increases.
