Abstract
A case of reversible anterior bilateral opercular syndrome (Foix-Chava ny-Marie syndrome) secondary to cerebral toxoplasma abscesses is descr ibed in a patient with AIDS. The symptoms regressed following antitoxo plasma and antiedema drug therapy. Although this is the first reported AIDS-related case, the syndrome is likely to recur in AIDS sufferers in whom multifocal cerebral lesions are common.
