Abstract:
Two cases of lupus dementia presented many points of particular interest: 1) the progressive installation of intellectual deterioration, inaugural for the first observation; 2) the diagnostic difficulties of neurolupus with the ARA criteria; 3) the appearance of cerebral magnetic resonance imaging with confluent hypersignals of the periventricular white matter on T2-weighted images; 4) the patholophysiological hypotheses: vascular disease? immunologic disease?; 5) the clinical improvement and SPECT amelioration for the second patient with corticosteroids.
