Résumé

This multicentre study aimed to provide a qualitative and consensual description of brain hypometabolism observed through the visual analysis of F-FDG PET images of patients with suspected neurological long COVID, regarding the previously reported long-COVID hypometabolic pattern involving hypometabolism in the olfactory bulbs and other limbic/paralimbic regions, as well as in the brainstem and cerebellum.
