Nesta pesquisa fizemos estudo retrospectivo de 154 pacientes com SIDA, submetidos a necrópsia no Hospital Universitário Antonio Pedro da Universidade Federal Fluminense e cujos resultados mostraram lesões do sistema nervoso. Destacamos, da casuística, dados epidemiológicos, clínicos e anátomo-patológicos, de tempo de evolução e de correlação anátomo-clínica. Objetivamos, com este estudo, contribuir na definição da importância do acometimento neurológico no diagnóstico precoce da síndrome de imunodeficência adquirida. We performed a retrospective study of 154 patients with AIDS that presented lesions of the nervous system at necroscopic examination. Necropsies were performed in the Hospital Universitário Antonio Pedro (Niterói, Brazil). We emphasize epidemiologic and clinical data, neuropathologic findings, evolution time, and anatomo-clinical correlation. Data obtained can contribute in the definition of consequences of neurologic symptoms and signs for early diagnosis and best prognosis in AIDS.
