چکیده
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 NPSLE is however unknown.
