Abstract

Objective To investigate the diagnosis value of MRI on ADIS complicated by brain toxoplasma infection .Materials and Methods The MRI imaging date of 6 patients with clinical proved ADIS complicated by brain toxoplasma infection were analyzed retrospectively. Results 6 patients had multiple lesions, 4 patients had lesion on violating basal ganglia, 4 patients had lesion violating frontotemporoparietal occipital lobe cortical and medullary junction and 1 patients had lesion violating cerebellar hemisphere ,1 patient had lesion violating thalamus. 16 patients with MRI examinations showed hypointensity signal on T1WI and hyperintensity singnal on T2WI. Enhanced scan showed that 6 patients had multiple lesion forms. Conclusions ADIS complicated by brain toxoplasma infection has characteristic MR imaging findings, which has an important role in diagnosis of ADIS complicated by brain toxoplasma infection.
