Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by mononuclear infiltration and destruction of lacrimal gland and salivary gland resulting in xerostomia and xerophthalmia. Central nervous system involvements occur in 2∼25% of patients. A 77-year-old woman developed sudden onset of dysarthria and right hemiparesis. She had no risk factors for cerebral infarction. Diffusion weighted image showed multiple acute cerebral infarctions in left cerebral hemisphere. We treated with steroid and antiplatelet agent then her neurologic symptoms were improved. We report a old aged primary Sjogren’s syndrome patient with multiple cerebral infarction.
