What is progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)?
• Opportunistic CNS demyelinating disease caused by
a neurotropic mutant strain of the JC virus
• Causes benign infection in >50% of adults worldwide
• Very rarely causes PML, following reactivation
• Associated with immunosuppressed states
(AIDS, transplant pts, hematologic malignancies,
mAb therapies, primary immunodeficiency disorders)
• JCV infection and damage of oligodendrocytes
leads to severe demyelination

PML – Why MRI?
“[…] MRI detects PML lesions even several months before
clinical symptoms occur and JCV DNA may become detectable
in the CSF”
“[…] clinicians and radiologist should be aware that clinical
symptoms are not required to make the diagnosis of PML in
natalizumab-treated MS patients; such requirement could delay
timely diagnosis and intervention”.
(Yousry et al. 2012, Wattjes MP et al. 2013, Dong-Si et al. 2014)
• Relevance of MRI in the early diagnosis
• asymptomatic PML at diagnosis (confirmed by detection of JCV in
CSF) : 100% survival rate (69% in symptomatic)
Delayed diagnosis
Younger age
Low physical impairment
Low JCV copy number in CSF
Localized brain involvement

Conclusions N-PML
PML represents an heterogeneous disease showing an abundance of inflammatory changes that have been rather neglected in the context of HIV-associated PML.
It is not an exclusive white matter disease as suggested by the term leukoencephalopathy, but remains multifocal
In the early disease stages, PML frequently presents as a focal leucocortical lesion and may be confused with a new MS lesion
(Neuro)Radiologists should be aware of these heterogeneous imaging findings to aid in the early and preferably asymptomatic diagnosis of PML with positive influence on clinical outcome and survival.
