ABSTRACT
The case of a 42-year-old woman who presented neurologic symptoms characterized by paresthesias and right hemiparesis is presented here. Although the diagnosis was difficult at the beginning; yet, the features of the lesions (located in the cerebral cortex but not in the white matter; no arterial distribution), positive serology for SLE and proteinuria, determined the diagnosis of Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus. The purpose of this work is to inform about the low prevalence (<4%) of the disease and how it is a diagnostic challenge.
