We report a case of a false positive fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan in a patient who presented with abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal bleeding accompanied by elevation of inflammatory markers, seven weeks after a proximal type I endoleak repair with a cuff extension. Aortoenteric fistula and endograft infection was ruled out by laparotomy. FDG-PET image may have a role in diagnosis of infection, but false positive results are possible and caution is necessary if other data are non-confirmatory.
我们报告一例在近端I型内漏采用袖套延长修复术后7周出现腹痛、胃肠道出血并伴有炎症标志物升高的患者,其氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(FDG-PET)出现假阳性结果。剖腹手术排除了主动脉肠瘘和移植物感染。FDG-PET图像可能在感染诊断中发挥作用,但可能会出现假阳性结果,如果其他数据不能证实,则需要谨慎对待。
