Antiphospholipid syndrome may be associated with various neurologic conditions. Pseudotumor cerebri is a rare complication of the disease and is often attributed to venous thrombosis. We report a 18-year-old woman with pseudotumor cerebri due to primary antiphospholipid syndrome. She has normal findings on MR venography. Antiphospholipid syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri, even in the patients without evidence of venous thrombosis on MR angiography.

A 26-year-old woman who had myasthenia gravis (MG) experienced several instances of sunburns. A phototest was performed by ultraviolet (UV) A, UVB and visible light irradiation to the back surface of the sunburns. Numerous erythematous papules developed at the 20, 25, 30 J/cm2 UVA irradiated site. The phototest induced lesions were compatible with polymorphic light eruption (PMLE) with action spectrum in the UVA range. After immunosuppresant treatment, the MG and PMLE were in a well-controlled state. We report MG associated with PMLE followed with a literature review.
