Manifestations of AIDS in the oromaxillofacial region. The role of imaging.
The primary role of sectional imaging of the oromaxillofacial region in patients who have AIDS is to assess the extent of disease already identified by the clinician. In patients in whom the clinical presentation is complex or confusing, radiographic detection of otherwise occult manifestations of HIV infection plays a key role in the management of the patient with AIDS. The varied manifestations of HIV infection in the oromaxillofacial region and the indications for imaging have been reviewed.
