ABSTRACT
Brain MR imaging abnormalities in primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) are generally discrete white matter lesions. We describe a 50-year-old woman with recurrent neurologic deficits. MR imaging revealed a large brain lesion. A diagnosis of pSS was made on the basis of clinical features, positive anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies, abnormal Schirmer test findings, and salivary gland scintigraphy. The patient was treated with oral prednisone with good response. Large tumefactive brain lesions are a complication of pSS.

Presentamos un caso de fractura de estrés longitudinal de tibia en un paciente afecto de espondiloartropatía indiferenciada. Este tipo de fracturas, frecuentemente infradiagnosticadas, deben considerarse en el diagnóstico diferencial de dolor en la extremidad inferior en pacientes con factores predisponentes (AU)
