Isolated motor control dysfunction related to progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy during AIDS with normal MRI

Neurology. 1994 Dec;44(12):2352-5. doi: 10.1212/wnl.44.12.2352.

Abstract

We describe the case of a human immunodeficiency virus-infected 34-year-old man with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). His case displayed unusual features, including a bizarre movement disorder, predominant involvement of the subcortical U fibers on neuropathologic examination, and the absence of MRI abnormalities suggestive of PML. Anatomic-clinical correlations are discussed.
