Myelitis Complicating Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Successfully Treated with Corticosteroids and Cyclophosphamide
Southern Medical Journal, 06/30/09

Ammouri W et al. - Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a multisystem autoimmune disease with protean manifestations, occurs with neuropsychiatric manifestations in <=60% of patients. Myelitis is a rare but serious complication of SLE. The diagnosis of myelitis may be difficult, but magnetic resonance imaging is generally very useful in assessing the extension and severity of lupus-related myelitis. The authors present the case of a 22-year-old woman with SLE since age 18 who presented with bilateral leg paresis of 7 days' duration.
