Abstract

A 68-year-old woman presented with subacute onset of limbic symptoms, cerebellar ataxia and polyneuropathy. While the initial findings were suggestive of a paraneoplastic syndrome, she later developed liver and kidney problems during the follow-up. The patient was finally diagnosed as having definite systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) based on clinical and serological findings. She made a remarkable recovery following treatment with prednisolone and cyclophosphamide. This is the first occurrence of simultaneous involvement of the peripheral nerves and cerebellum in a SLE patient.

Özet

Altmış sekiz yaşındaki kadın hasta subakut başlangıçlı limbik belirtiler, serebellar ataksi ve polinöropati ile başvurdu. İlk bulguları paraneoplastik bir sendromu düşündürmekteydi. Ancak hastanın takibi sırasında karaciğer ve böbrek sorunları gelişti. Eklenen klinik bulgular ve serolojik testler ışığında hasta kesin sistemik lupus eritematozus (SLE) tanısı aldı ve prednizolon ve siklofosfamid tedavisinin ardından belirgin şekilde düzeldi. Bu olgu, SLE’de periferik sinirlerin ve serebellumun aynı anda tutulumunun ilk örneğidir.
