Summary
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is rare but increased in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. PML presents with neurological deficits and characteristic CT findings, even in non-AIDS patients.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Infectious Diseases
- Radiology
Background:
- Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.
- PML is strongly associated with conditions causing immunodeficiency, particularly acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
- An increase in PML cases was observed, prompting investigation into its clinical and radiological presentation.
