[NEUROLOGIC COMPLICATIONS AROUND THE DIAGNOSIS OF KIKUCHI-FUJIMOTO DISEASE: A RARE PRESENTATION OF THE DISEASE OR A HINT OF AN ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS?]

INTRODUCTION: Neurologic symptoms are an extremely rare presentation of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. We report a case of a young female patient diagnosed with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, presenting with neurologic symptoms compatible with aseptic meningitis, along with radiographic findings which improved with steroidal treatment. Despite the rarity of these findings, they were reported as part of the disease manifestation, however, since Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is associated with other diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), other diagnoses cannot be ruled out.
