Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome in a pregnant woman with systemic lupus erythematous
Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematous is a chronic multi-systemic autoimmune disease that affects multiple organ systems, including the central nervous system. Pseudotumor cerebri is a disorder associated with increased intracranial pressure in the absence of a space-occupying lesion or other identifiable cause that affects young and obese women.
We present the case of a pregnant woman with both pseudotumor cerebri and a new diagnosis of active systemic lupus erythematous.
