[Abstract] HIV-related nervous system infections are the major complications of AIDS, which constitute the commonly found causes of death. Diagnostic imaging plays an indispensable role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of AIDS related nervous system infections. This article intended to introduce the diseases spectrum of AIDS complications and their imaging demonstrations, as compared to their pathological and autopsy findings, to explain their pathogenesis. Diagnostic imaging was also evaluated in the diagnosis and treatment of AIDS related nervous system infections.
