Abstract:
A case of a female infected by HIV whose first manifestation was a focal defect of the motor function caused by a brain lesion shown in the CT scan and NMR as a hemispheric mass with discreet expansive effect and central necrosis. The histologic study showed a necrotic leukoencephalitis related to HIV as etiologic agent. We point out the difficulties in diagnosing and treating this disease.
