ABSTRACT
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease of unknown etiology in which tissues and cells damaged by pathogenic autoantibodies and immune complexes. Nervous system involvement in patients with SLE encompasses a wide spectrum of neurologic and psychiatric features and the frequency of neuropsychiatric manifestations has been estimated at around 25% to 70%. American College of Rheumatology Ad Hoc Committee on neuropsychiatric lupus nomenclature developed case definitions for 19 different neuropsychiatric manifestations observed in SLE in 1999. Among them, Guillain-Barre syndrome and cerebral infarction are very rare neuropsychiatric manifestation. We experienced a 28-year-old woman with neuropsychiatric lupus which presented as Guillain-Barre syndrome and cerebral infarction. She was recovered after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin, high dose methylprednisolone, cyclophosphamide and anticoagulants.
