AIDS-related CNS cryptococcosis: radiologic-pathologic correlation.

PURPOSE This study evaluates the effectiveness of cranial CT and MR in detecting autopsy findings of AIDS-related CNS cryptococcosis. METHODS Final imaging studies compared with pathology were CT in eight patients (five with contrast) and MR in five patients (all with Gd-DTPA). RESULTS Neither modality effectively identified cryptococcal meningitis. Punctate hyperintensities were seen in al...
