ABSTRACT
Sjogren syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder involving the exocrine glands, which often presents with salivary and tear gland dysfunction leading to dry mouth and eyes (sicca symptoms). This disease occurs alone as primary SS, or in the background of connective tissue diseases as secondary SS. Neurological involvement is seen in 20-25% of SS cases. Cerebral involvement is generally heterogeneous both in terms of localization (focal or diffuse) and progression (acute, progressive or reversible) and may resemble the clinical and radiological findings of multiple sclerosis (MS). Here we present the case of a patient with primary SS who experienced acute progressive diffuse MS.
