چکیده
Neuropsychiatric lupus is a major diagnostic challenge, and a main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is, by far, the main tool for assessing the brain in this disease. Conventional and advanced MRI techniques are used to help establishing the diagnosis, to rule out alternative diagnoses, and recently, to monitor the evolution of the disease. This review explores the neuroimaging findings in SLE, including the recent advances in new MRI methods. This article is included in the Lupus nephritis and channel. neuropsychiatric lupus 1 1,2

متن کاملBrain Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Scan (SPECT) and Functional MRI in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients with Cognitive Dysfunction: A Systematic Review
Objective(s): Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Cognitive dysfunction is one of the manifestations that could present prior to the emergence of any other neuropsychiatric involvements in SLE. Cognitive dysfunction is a subtle condition occurring with ahigh frequency. However, there is no data on the correlation of cognitive...

متن کاملQuantitative magnetic resonance imaging in neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus.
Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but are poorly understood. Although there is a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, brain histology often simply shows a bland vasculopathy. Magnetic resonance techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy, magnetization transfer imaging and diffusion weighted imaging have been used to try to improve our unders...
متن کاملPReS-FINAL-2302: Evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities in juvenile neuro-psychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus
Introduction Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) is a diagnostically challenging, severe, and life-threatening condition. Neuroimaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are increasingly used to assist the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease course in adults with NPSLE. The role of MRI in the evaluation of children and adolescents with suspected juvenile N...
