Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic virus that can cause life-threatening neurological diseases in immunocompromised individuals, particularly those with HIV/AIDS. In this case report, a patient presenting with left gait lateralization was found to have a ring-enhancing cerebral mass lesion that was attributed to CMV. To date, only eight similar cases have been documented. When evaluating patients with HIV/AIDS who have cerebral mass lesions, clinicians should keep CMV as a possible cause because prompt antiviral therapy may improve clinical outcomes.
巨细胞病毒(CMV)是一种机会性病毒,可在免疫功能低下的个体中引发危及生命的神经系统疾病,尤其是那些感染了艾滋病毒/艾滋病的患者。在本病例报告中,一名出现左侧步态偏斜的患者被发现有一个环状强化的脑实质占位性病变,病因被归结为巨细胞病毒。迄今为止,仅有八例类似病例被记录在案。在评估患有脑实质占位性病变的艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者时,临床医生应将巨细胞病毒视为可能的病因,因为及时进行抗病毒治疗可能会改善临床预后。
