Echogenic stripes in the basal ganglia were identified sonographically in a 4-month-old infant with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This lenticulostriate arteriopathy correlated well with histologically identified early alterations of HIV encephalopathy in children. At 3 years and 5 months, CT examination performed after three seizures showed calcification in the area of the sonographically affected arteries but no signs of progressive encephalopathy. The child's mental and motor development have remained normal until now. Cerebral sonography performed in early infancy may allow identification of HIV encephalopathy even before its clinical manifestation.
在一名4个月大的感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的婴儿中，通过超声检查发现基底神经节有回声条纹。这种豆状核纹状体动脉病变与组织学确定的儿童HIV脑病早期改变密切相关。在3岁5个月时，三次癫痫发作后进行的CT检查显示，超声检查所累及动脉区域有钙化，但无进行性脑病迹象。该儿童的智力和运动发育至今仍保持正常。婴儿早期进行的脑部超声检查甚至可能在HIV脑病临床表现出现之前就将其识别出来。
