The clinical manifesations of central nervous system involvement in SLE are highly variable and range from mild cognitive dysfunction, movement disorder, headache, psychosis to life-threatening stroke and coma. Among neuropsychiaric disorders encountered in patients with SLE, cerebrovascular disease has relatively been rare complication. We experienced a case of subdural hematoma (SDH) occurring in a SLE patient which presented with headache. She was diagnosed as SDH by neuropsychiatric symptoms, brain CT, and brain MRI, and showed good response to medical treatment.
