Cerebral lesions in AIDS patients are characterized by a great variety of pathologies, except for HIV infection itself, related to the immunodeficiency context. Due to their frequent association, the interest of imagery (CT and MRI) remains essential today (despite of the underestimation of the lesions due to the weakness of the immune reactions): for the diagnosis detecting intracerebral masses (toxoplasmosis, lymphomas . . . ), white matter lesions, but also meningeal, sub ependymal or vascular lesions to obtain the diagnostic of curable pathologies as soon as possible, but also for the survey during the treatment.
