Abstract
A case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) with a clas sic clinical presentation but with unusual pathological and radiograph ic findings is reported. The pathology revealed evidence of prior hemo rrhage, and imaging studies revealed focal cerebral atrophy as well as contrast enhancement on MR scans. The contrast enhancement was visibl e only by utilizing magnetization transfer pulses on T1-weighted scans . The case report indicates that image criteria for PML may need to be redefined in the future.
