T2-weighted brain MRI

Rated 3 by 2 users

T2-weighted brain MRI showing:
- Diffuse, symmetrical hyperintensity of the white matter of both fronto-parietal lobes
- Sub-cortical atrophy, as revealed by the increased size of the ventricles.
The differential diagnosis with progressive multifocal leuco-encephalopathy (PML) can be difficult. In HIV encephalopathy, extensive lesions of the white matter on brain MRI often contrast with the paucity of neurological deficits.
