Abstract
Involvement of the deep grey matter is unusual in Progressive Multifoc al Leukoencephalopathy (PML), which is disease of the white matter. Ba sal ganglia involvement is usually secondary to extension from lesions of adjacent white matter and easy to recognize. We report a biopsy-pr oven case of PML in which lesions were mainly thalamic.
