ABSTRACT
Systemic sclerosis is a rare, autoimmune, connective tissue disorder which involves skin and other internal organs. However, central nervous system involvement including seizure, is a very rare event. This 29-year-old woman experienced repeated episodes of typical generalized tonic clonic seizure. T2 weighted and flare images of magnetic resonance image showed a mass-like high signal intensity lesion in the left temporal lobe. Atypical spikes and waves were present in a eclectroencephalogram. Her seizure episodes were controlled with anticonvulsants, corticosteroids and immunosuppresants. We report a rare case of systemic sclerosis which showed central nervous system involvement.
