[Neurosjögren: an unusual presentation with central nervous system involvement].
Revue Neurologique 2010 April
INTRODUCTION: Neurological manifestations in Sjögren's syndrome are variable. The peripheral nervous system is generally involved. We report a rare case of an unusual central neurological manifestation.
CASE REPORT: A 54-year-old woman was admitted with headache and tetraparesia. The physical examination revealed a tetrapyramidal syndrome and a bilateral parotidomegaly. The patient's general condition was nevertheless quite good. Brain MRI showed an heterogeneous pontine lesion with multiple nodular formations in the periventricular white matter. Blood tests revealed anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies. A labial salivary gland biopsy was grade IV in Chisholm scoring system and Schirmer's test was positive.
CONCLUSION: A latent Sjögren's syndrome can lead to a wide variety of focal brain MRI abnormalities and should be evoked when the etiology is not clear.
