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.

Keywords Multiple sclerosis, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Demyelinating syndrome
