E Chaves-Carballo et al. Lupus. 1999.

Abstract

We describe an adolescent with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) associated with diffuse white matter lesions (leukoencephalopathy) on neuroimaging studies. Although the association between SLE and PTC has been reported previously in 21 cases, the findings of leukoencephalopathy is known in only one other patient.
