MRI findings in toxoplasmosis cerebralis

Abstract

We present the case of a 25 years-old HIV infected patient with low CD4 count who presented seizures and receptive language disturbances. The MRI fi ndings were highly suggestive for cerebral Toxoplasmosis. An empirical treatment for Toxoplasma gondii was started, with favorable outcome. We discuss the MRI findings in cerebral toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised patients.
