Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy: neurological findings and evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography.
On the basis of two of our cases we report here on the clinical symptoms and neuroradiological findings in patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Emphasis is put on the value of MRI in early stages of this disease, especially, and on the increased information provided by this method as compared to CT-scanning.
