Abstract

AIDS-related polyradiculopathy is a syndrome associated with cytomegalovirus infection. We report two cases of AIDS-related polyradiculopathy in which spinal T1-weighted MRI with gadolinium-DTPA showed enhancement of the pial lining of the conus medullaris, cauda equina, and lumbar nerve roots. Both patients clinically improved with ganciclovir treatment.
