- Abstract
- Neurological manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can mimic multiple sclerosis (MS) or Devic’s syndrome (DS). We report a 16-year old woman with recurrent myelitis and optic neuritis. She also had an antinuclear antibody, an anti double-stranded DNA antibody and a positive lupus erythematosus cell. Because MS is a diagnosis of exclusion, brainstem involvement is not compatible with DS. We therefore diagnosed her case as a SLE with recurrent myelitis and optic neuritis.
