Lupus Cerebritis
An accurate lupus cerebritis diagnosis must be established prior to following a specific treatment plan. The lupus cerebritis diagnosis is quite difficult to make. The disease can result in mild to severe symptoms which include headaches, seizures, stroke, dementia, peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia (the inability to coordinate the muscles, usually on one side of the body), chorea (involuntary movements), psychosis, and others. However, laboratory tests and imaging tests can help in diagnosing the condition.
Severe lupus cerebritis symptoms include psychosis, dementia, peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia (failure of muscular coordination, usually on one side of the body), and chorea (jerky, involuntary movements). Stroke incidence is 3-20% in systemic lupus patients, and is highest in the first five years of the disease. Peripheral neuropathy (carpal tunnel syndrome, for example) occurs in more than 20% of systemic lupus patients and cranial nerve palsies occur in 10-15%.
