Key Clinical Message:
Some studies have manifested the relationship between SLE and stroke. Therefore, it is very important to pay close attention to the diagnosis of SLE in recurring stroke. In our case, her recurrent stroke attack might be due to the undiagnosed cause of SLE.
Abstract:
An ischemic stroke is a medical emergency condition which occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is blocked. Early action is needed; therefore, time is crucial. SLE is an autoimmune disease with multiple joint pain, fever, rashes, and organ damage. We report an old lady who was recently diagnosed with SLE with multiple stroke attack. Although she was diagnosed with SLE much later there was a suspicious about the possible mechanism for her recurrent ischemic stroke. She was given antiplatelet, antiepileptic, antihypertensive, and hydroxychloroquine medicines for the treatment. The neurological symptoms improved only after we provided physiotherapy.
