Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The presence of cerebral lesions in patients affected by the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been estimated to be around 10%, with the majority being infective lesions or primary central nervous system lymphomas. The co-occurrence of a cerebral glioma in such patients is rare. The aim of this report is to present four more cases, discussing their clinical and neuroradiological features, as well as the outcome and the possible pathogenesis.
