ABSTRACT
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which may affect different organs and disclose various clinical manifestations. The clinical manifesations of central nervous system involvement in SLE are highly variable and range from mild cognitive dysfunction, movement disorder, headache, psychosis to life-threatening stroke and coma. Among neuropsychiaric disorders encountered in patients with SLE, cerebrovascular disease has relatively been rare complication. We experienced a case of subdural hematoma (SDH) occurring in a SLE patient which presented with headache. She was diagnosed as SDH by neuropsychiatric symptoms, brain CT, and brain MRI, and showed good response to medical treatment.
