In this study, we aimed to evaluate the neurometabolic correlates of diabetes in a patient with Intermittent explosive disorder (IED). Methods: We have investigated the cerebral glucose metabolism via 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in a diabetic patient with aggressive outbursts. Results: We have found significantly reduced glucose uptake in left temporoparietal region, pontin area, and left nucleus lentiformis. Discussion: Our present results indicate decreased cerebral glucose metabolism in specific cerebral cortical and subcortical areas. The main limitation of this report is that, this is a single case study and that these findings need to be replicated in well-conducted randomized controlled studies by using additional neuroquantitative methods.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDiabetes MellitusFDG-PETImpulse Control DisorderArticle16322422710.2174/1872214810666160930124951Q3Q3
