Abstract:
We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus with clinical presentation of bilateral upward gaze palsy and intraoral numbness. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was able to identify the pathogenic lesion at the left side of midbrain, involving the vertical gaze center and sensory pathways for innervating the buccal and hard palate mucosa. A course of aggressive immunosuppressive treatment resulted in prompt resolution of gaze palsy and the midbrain lesion.
