Neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus (NP-SLE) presents diverse challenges. Standardized criteria and advanced imaging aid diagnosis, but effective treatments for cognitive impairment require further research.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Neurology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Neuropsychiatric (NP) manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are complex and challenging for clinicians.
  • Prevalence of NP-SLE varies widely (14-75%), complicating patient classification and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of NP-SLE.
  • To highlight the impact of new nomenclature, imaging, and neuropsychometric techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of NP-SLE manifestations, etiology, diagnosis, and management.
  • Discussion of recent advancements in classification, imaging, and cognitive assessment.

Main Results:

  • Standardized nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for 19 NP-SLE syndromes have been introduced.

  • Advanced imaging and neuropsychometric techniques reveal high rates of cognitive impairment in SLE patients.
  • Etiology is multifactorial, involving microangiopathy, autoantibodies, and cytokine production.

    • Conclusions:

    • Standardized approaches are improving NP-SLE classification and research potential.
    • Multicenter studies are crucial for advancing prognosis and management strategies.
    • Further research is needed to establish evidence-based therapeutic guidelines for NP-SLE.
