Neuro-Sjogren: A clinical-radiological paradox affecting the central nervous system
Abstract
Neurological manifestations can occur in up to 67% of patients with primary Sjogren's Syndrome, also known as Neuro-Sjogren's syndrome (NSS), and a 5% can present central nervous system involvement, with severe and possibly lethal consequences. We present the radiological follow-up of a patient with NSS who consulted for limb weakness and visual loss, and fourteen years later developed sicca symptoms. She was diagnosed with a saliva gland biopsy, and started treatment with steroids, cyclophosphamide, and then rituximab, achieving a favour-able clinical response and stabilization of lesions. We discuss key aspects regarding the clinical presentation, diagnosis, imaging, and treatment of this elusive disease.
