Tonic-Clonic Seizure in Patient With SLE: Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome, or a Neuropsychiatric Manifestation of SLE?
Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinically and radiologically diagnosed reversible sudden onset disease with many neurological symptoms. SLE is the most common cause of PRES among autoimmune diseases. Many factors, such as SLE activity, hypertension, hematological and renal diseases, lymphopenia dyslipidemia, and immunosuppressive treatments, can trigger PRES in SLE. We wanted to draw attention to the difference between neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and PRES in a patient with SLE and the triggers for developing PRES in SLE by presenting a hypertensive patient on immunosuppressive therapy who had just started haemodialysis treatment and had generalised tonic-clonic seizures.
