^a From the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Unit (S.K., J.-F.L.B., S.G.) and the Departments of Neurology (G.B.), Hepato-Gastro-Enterology (B.B.), and Anatomopathology (B.P.), Centre Hospitalier et Universitaire de Grenoble, Hôpital Michallon, Grenoble, France.

Summary: We report a case of Whipple disease involving the brain, optic chiasm, posterior fossa, and spinal cord. We evaluate the role of MR imaging for initial evaluation and for long-term follow-up of Whipple disease involving the CNS. We also discuss the semiologic characteristics of the lesions.
