Neuroradiologic findings in AIDS: a review of 200 cases

RM Levy, S Rosenbloom, and LV Perrett

The radiologic studies of 200 consecutive AIDS patients with neurologic symptoms were evaluated to determine their diagnostic specificity and prognostic value. Of 81 patients with initially normal CT scans, four (5%) later developed progressive neurologic illness. Of 75 patients with CT evidence of diffuse cerebral atrophy, 12 (16%) later developed CT abnormalities or had postmortem CNS disease. CT scans showed mass lesions initially in 44 patients and later in an additional seven patients. Although toxoplasma gondii infection was the most frequent cause of these lesions, the CT characteristics of cerebral toxoplasmosis are too nonspecific to warrant diagnosis without biopsy. Preliminary evidence suggests that MRI may be more sensitive than CT in detecting intracranial disease in patients with AIDS.
