Evaluation and Management of Intracranial Mass Lesions in Aids

Mission statement. The Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) is charged with developing practice parameters for neurologists for diagnostic procedures, treatment modalities, and clinical disorders. The selection of topics for which practice parameters are developed is based on prevalence, frequency of use, economic impact, membership involvement, controversy, urgency, external constraints, and resources required. This paper addresses the management of intracranial masses in persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
