Abnormal uptake of F-18-FDG in the brain suggests disorders of central nervous system. Here, we present a case of extremely low F-18-FDG uptake in the brain of a 4-year-old girl with whole-body metastatic neuroblastoma. Almost missing of physiological F-18-FDG uptake in the brain was ascribed at least partly to the metastatic neuroblastoma. The brain could regain physiological F-18-FDG uptake after chemotherapy.SAGE PublicationsJournal Articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/83130Acta radiologica open107152021-07-01enginfo:doi/10.1177/20584601211026810none
