AJNR 16:703-711, Brightbill,T.C.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We conclude that findings of vascular occlusive disease manifested as infarction or arteritis, enhancing cortical lesions with or without adjacent meningeal enhancement, focal or diffuse extraaxial enhancement, and white matter disease, alth ough nonspecific, in the proper clinical setting should prompt appropriate testing for neurosyphillis, a treatable disease, in patients with and without HIV infection.
