In the necropsy exam of the brains of 13 patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cerebrovascular lesions were seen in 5 cases, three of them having AIDS encephalopathy. Hyalinosis was noted in 3 cases, and endarteritis obliterans and fibrinoid necrosis in one case each; both of them had associated perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates. Cerebral infarction was observed in one case, but no hemorrhages were seen. The neuropathological anomalies in four children affected with the AIDS are reported too, being an extensive calcified vasculopathy and changes suggesting active AIDS encephalopathy the main findings.
