 AB    Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spinal cord were carried out
       for seventeen consecutive patients with HTLV-1 associated myelopathy
       (HAM). Eight patients had brain abnormalities and four had decreased
       thoracic spinal cord diameter. Brain lesions were mostly located in
       subcortical and periventricular areas. Our data suggest that diffuse
       central nervous system lesions are present in patients with HAM.
