معرفی و بررسی یک مورد بیمار مبتلا به سندرم آنتی فسفولیپید آنتی بادی در زمینه لوپوس سیستمیک، با تظاهر اولیه کره

Moreover, primary presentation of the disease with chorea is rare and only few such cases are reported in literature in recent years. We report here the case of a 28 year old woman who was first seen at the age of 10 with clinical manifestations of chorea...

It is not surprising therefore that only atypical cases of SLE present as FUa. Although uncommon, pseudotumor cerebri has been recognized as either a presenting manifestation or a complication of SLE. This c...

Chorea as a sign of systemic lupus erythematosus activity. Case report.

No evidence of chorea as a sign of lupus activity has been established. We describe a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus associated with antiphospholipid antibodies who developed chorea, which has been considered a sign of lupus activity.
