Article 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.
