Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome as an initial neurological manifestation of primary Sjögren’s syndrome

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

It is well known that patients with peripheral neuropathy along with autonomic involvement can also exhibit autonomic hyperactivity. There are rare cases in which these patients developed posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) may be more likely to exhibit autonomic hypofunction rather than autonomic hyperfunction, which is a rare event. In the present work, we report the first known case of PRES as an initial neurological manifestation of pSS.
