“…In 2002, Filippi et al [43], conducted a study relating diffusion tensor metrics to viral load in the white matter of ten HIV-positive patients. The results showed significantly lower FA values in the splenium and genu of the CC in patients together with higher viral loads.…”

Summary:In this review of the current literature, we examine the role of medical imaging in providing new and relevant information on central nervous system (CNS) injury associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and various clinical manifestations of this injury. Common imaging modalities used to examine CNS injury in HIV infection include structural magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, diffusion tensor imaging, functional MRI, and positron emissions tomography. Clinical implications for the findings are discussed for each of these modalities individually and collectively. In addition, the direction for future studies is suggested in an attempt to provide possible methods that might answer the many questions that remain to be answered on the evolution and progression of CNS injury in the context of HIV infection.

“…In MS, for example, MT measurements have been used to evaluate drug effectiveness 44 and have been recommended as objective end points in large-scale MS trials. 45 It is possible, pending further study, that MT could be used to detect response to specific antiretrovirals. These measurements may be more sensitive to subtle or short-term changes in status than measures based on clinical evaluation (eg, cognitive symptoms).…”

“…Furthermore, WMLs are related to various geriatric disorders: cerebrovascular diseases (11)(12)(13), cardiovascular diseases (1,9,14), dementia (15)(16)(17), psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder (18)(19)(20), bipolar disorder (21), and schizophrenia (22), neurologic disorders such as multiple sclerosis (23) and normal pressure hydrocephalus (24), and inflammatory diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (25). Therefore, the presence, form and severity of WMLs may provide additional characterization of aging, pathophysiology of geriatric disorders, and the relation between aging and geriatric disorders.…”

White matter lesions, commonly seen on magnetic resonance images of elderly people, are related to various geriatric disorders including cerebrovascular diseases, cardiovascular diseases, dementia, and psychiatric disorders. Currently, white matter lesions are divided into periventricular white matter lesions and deep white matter lesions. Although the meaning of these terms vary by study and this dichotomization itself is still in debate, a possible dissimilarity in pathogenic mechanisms between periventricular white matter lesions and deep white matter lesions are providing some clues for understanding pathophysiology of many geriatric syndromes associated with white matter lesions.We have reviewed the distinctions between periventricular white matter lesions and deep white matter lesions in terms of etiology, histopathology, functional correlates, and imaging methodologies. We suggest a new sub-classification of white matter lesions which may have better etiological and functional relevance than the current simple dichotomization. The new categories are juxtaventricular, periventricular, deep white, and juxtacortical. This new classification scheme may contribute to reducing the heterogeneity of white matter lesion findings in future research.
