Abstract
The presence of cerebral lesions in patients affected by the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been estimated to be around 10%, with the majority being infective lesions or primary central nervous system lymphomas. The co-occurrence of a cerebral glioma in such patie nts is rare. The aim of this report is to present four mon cases, disc ussing their clinical and neuroradiological features, as well as the o utcome and the possible pathogenesis.
