Our results indicate huge diversity in metabolic patterns among different AE subtypes and it is hard to draw a firm conclusion. Moreover, the timing of imaging, seizures, and acute treatments can alter the PET patterns strongly. Further prospective investigations with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria should be carried out to identify the metabolic defect in different AE subtypes.
