Abstract

An acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patient developed acute symptoms suggestive of a lower spinal cord lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed and demonstrated an enhancing lesion of the conus medullaris. Surgical biopsy revealed Toxoplasma gondii. Disease processes involving the spinal cord in AIDS patients are reviewed and differential diagnosis for the lesion in this patient is discussed.

摘要

一名获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）患者出现了提示脊髓下段病变的急性症状。进行了磁共振成像检查，显示圆锥有强化病变。手术活检显示为弓形虫。本文回顾了艾滋病患者涉及脊髓的疾病过程，并讨论了该患者病变的鉴别诊断。
