The Open Neurology Journal 22 Sept 2020 CASE REPORT DOI: 10.2174/1874205X02014010068

Abstract

India has been termed as Diabetic hub of the globe. Along with other complications, one of the underestimated complication is cognitive decline and memory loss associated with poor diabetes control. In the Indian context, structural imaging like MRI-Magnetic Resonance imaging is more commonly used in Neurological disorders such as stroke, head injury, Functional imaging of the human brain has been underutilized in the Indian scenario. One such technique is PET CT which has been typically used as a cancer biomarker in India. By virtue of current case study, we propose i) association between poor control of Diabetes and poor cognition ii) role of PET CT brain in differential diagnosis of Dementia. We present two case reports providing strong findings for utilization of PET CT brain in Dementia protocols.

Keywords: Diabetes, Memory, Dementia, Cognition, Alzheimer’s Disease, PET CT.
