Abstract

Involvement of nervous system is frequently seen in patients with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS dementia complex (ADC) is characterized by progressive decline of cognitive and psychomotor functions, and often occurs in the terminal phase of the disease. While our patient was being followed up with the diagnosis of dementia and parkinsonism, clinical signs rapidly progressed. Other conditions that might cause similar symptoms were searched and the patient was diagnosed with ADC based on the clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings. Here, we are reporting a patient with advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who developed dementia as an initial manifestation.

Özet

Edinsel immün yetmezlik sendromu (AIDS) hastalarında sinir sistemitutulumu çok sık görülmektedir. AIDS demans kompleksi (ADC), kognitif vepsikomotor fonksiyonların ilerleyici kötüleşmesi ile karakterize birsendromdur ve çoğu zaman hastalığın terminal döneminde ortaya çıkar.Olgumuza, demans ve parkinsonizm tanıları ile takip ediliyorken kliniğinhızlı ilerleyişi nedeniyle benzer tabloya yol açabilecek etiyolojileraraştırılarak klinik, laboratuvar ve radyolojik tetkikler sonucunda ADC tanısıkonmuştur. Olgumuzu, AIDS tanısının nörolojik komplikasyonları üzerindenkonulmuş olması nedeniyle bildirmeye değer bulduk.
