The human immunodeficiency virus infected persons frequently have manifestations of central nervous system disfunction. These can be primary involvement or secondary processes such as infections or tumors. The present paper presents a short review of radiologic CNS findings in patients with AIDS as seen on CT and or MRI. The radiologic findings of HIV-1 encephalitis, toxoplasmosis, primary CNS lymphoma, PMLE, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, CMV encephalitis, HVS and varicella are presented. We expect this will ultimately help in the management of the AIDS patient.
