ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Neurological manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus are common and numerous. They mainly involve the central nervous system, peripheral involvement being rare. Acute polyradiculoneuropathy is very uncommon. CASE REPORT: We report a 44-year-old man, who presented with acute polyradiculoneuropathy revealing systemic lupus erythematosus. Outcome was fatal despite treatment with corticosteroids and immunoglobulin. CONCLUSION: Acute polyradiculoneuropathy is a very rare manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus and can compromise functional and life prognosis. Early diagnosis and management are crucial.
