ABSTRACT
The neuropsychiatric get involved in sistemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is complex and is the major cause of morbidity and mortality. The incidence in children ranges from 20 percent to 95 percent. The recognition and treatment remain a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The activity for the treatment remains empirical and based on clinical experience. The choice of treatment depends on an accurate diagnosis and identification of the underlying pathogenic mechanism. Symptomatic treatments, immunosuppressive and anti-coagulants are the main therapeutic strategies. You have searched other therapeutic measures in patients with severe disease refractory to standard therapy or the use of cyclophosphamide, immunoglobulin, rituximab, methotrexate + intrathecal dexamethasone, among others. We report one patient with neurolupus (NLES), refractory methylprednisolone and treatment with cyclophosphamide, continuing neurological activity is applied intrathecal MTX 10 mg + dexamethasone 10 mg intrathecal, in a total of 4 doses, finding satisfactory improvement, and controlling activity.
RESUMEN
El involucro neuropsiquiátrico en el lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) es complejo y es causa importante de morbimortalidad. La incidencia en la edad pediátrica va de 20 por ciento al 95 por ciento. Su reconocimiento y tratamiento siguen representando un importante reto diagnóstico y terapéutico. La actividad para el tratamiento sigue siendo empírica y basada en la experiencia clínica; la elección terapéutica depende de un diagnóstico preciso y la identificación del mecanismo patogénico subyacente. Los tratamientos asintomáticos, inmunosupresores y anticoagulantes representan las principales estrategias terapéuticas. Se han buscado otras medidas terapéuticas en pacientes con afección severa o refractarios al tratamiento habitual, como el uso de ciclofosfamida, inmunoglobulina, rituximab, metotrexato + dexametasona intratecal, entre otros. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con neurolupus (NLES), refractario al tratamiento con metilprednisolona y ciclofosfamida, continuando con actividad neurológica; se aplica MTX 10 mg intratecal + dexametasona 10 mg IT, en un total de 4 dosis, encontrando mejoría satisfactoria y control de la actividad.
