 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.
