lüll Imaging features of CNS involvement in AIDS Senocak E; Oguz KK; Ozgen B; Kurne A; Ozkaya G; Unal S; Cila ADiagn Interv Radiol 2010[Sep]; 16 (3): 193-200Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are the subjects of a large part of routine neuroradiological work in the Western world currently. The World Health Organization announced that Turkish authorities had reported a cumulative total of 2544 HIV cases from 1985 to 2006, of whom 623 had developed AIDS and 140 had died. It is estimated that approximately one-third of AIDS patients develop neurological complications. The spectrum of diseases affecting the central nervous system (CNS) in AIDS patients comprises predominantly opportunistic infections and primary CNS lymphoma. Although to a lesser degree when compared with Western countries, the incidence of AIDS and related neurological diseases are on the rise also in Turkey. Therefore radiologists should recognize HIV-associated problems and their imaging features. In this review, we focus on imaging features of more common CNS diseases in HIV-seropositive patients. This essay has been prepared using radiological studies of the patients who had been managed in our hospital which is a tertiary care center with a highly motivated medical team for this peculiar disease in the years between 2002 and 2008.|AIDS Dementia Complex/diagnostic imaging/*pathology[MESH]|Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome/*complications/*diagnostic imaging/*pathology[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Aphasia, Wernicke/diagnostic imaging/etiology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|HIV Infections/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant[MESH]|Magnetic Resonance Angiography/methods[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH] |
