[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the MRI characteristics of AIDS combined with opportunistic infections of the brain.Materials and Methods: The MRI manifestations of AIDS with brain infection were retrospectively analyzed.Results: A total of 23 cases, 12 cases of toxoplasmosis, mainly involved the basal ganglia and the junction of gray matter and white matter of cerebral hemisphere, "target sign" was the characteristic performance; cryptococcal infection in 5 cases, mainly caused cryptococcal meningitis, brain colloidal false capsule was the characteristics; tuberculosis infection in 6 cases, with simple violations of rare brain parenchyma, in different time, the lesions involving brain parenchyma was vary.Conclusion: The MRI performance of AIDS combined with infection in the brain is characteristic.
