Demyelinating Syndrome Resembling Multiple Sclerosis as the First Manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Report of Two Cases / 대한류마티스학회지

ABSTRACT

Neurologic manifestations rarely occur as presenting feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We describe two women who presented with several episodes of neurologic symptoms mimicking multiple sclerosis. Several years after disease onset, clinical and laboratory finding were compatible with SLE. These cases show that demyelinating syndrome resembling multiple sclerosis may present as a first manifestation of SLE.
