Diagnosis of this condition is difficult because of significant delay between infection onset and symptoms presentation, resulting in few positive biological tests or imaging exams. We report the case of a nine-year-old boy exhibiting hemicorporal abnormal movements with tics for whom [F]FDG PET/CT exam allowed to make the diagnosis, associated with anti-DNase B elevation.
