Neuroimaging of AIDS.

A retrospective review of the neuroimaging procedures of 84 patients with the diagnosis of AIDS was performed. Both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures were evaluated for the presence of atrophy, enhancing lesions and focal non-enhancing lesions. The imaging findings in several infectious conditions (toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, papovavirus, HIV virus, tuberculosis and histoplasmosis) are described. Intracranial lymphoma, another complication of AIDS, also is discussed.
