AB The authors present the different aspects of HIV encephalitis in CT and
MR in a series of 15 patients with anatomopathological proof. Atrophy
was the most commonly found lesion (12 patients) and could rapidly be
evolutive. White matter lesions (9 patients) were more of ten nodular
than diffuse. They were better demonstrated by MRI and did not enhance
after intra-venous injection of DOTA-gadolinium. A frequent association
with opportunistic infections (toxoplasmosis: 10 patients, CMV:2
patients), lymphoma (4 patients), or PML (3 patients) was observed which
emphasized the low specificity of brain imaging in patients with HIV
encephalitis.
