Somatoform (DS) and dissociative disorders (DD) considered in this preliminary PET study represent the two major diagnostic categories of DSM-IV-TR; in the classical psychopathology they were considered part of "hysteria". The aim of this study was to evaluate whether 18F-FDG PET-CT brain scans show specific abnormality patterns in patients affected by DD and DS to better define these disorders; other end point was to identify correlations of brain metabolic pattern with neurocognitive functions of patients.

Abstract
Somatoform (DS) and dissociative disorders (DD) considered in this preliminary PET study represent the two major diagnostic categories of DSM-IV-TR; in the classical psychopathology they were considered part of "hysteria". The aim of this study was to evaluate whether 18F-FDG PET-CT brain scans show specific abnormality patterns in patients affected by DD and DS to better define these disorders; other end point was to identify correlations of brain metabolic pattern with neurocognitive functions of patients.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
