Systemic sclerosis, a connective tissue disease, may cause primary brain vascular changes. Autopsies revealed calcification in small brain arteries, suggesting it as a potential marker for these changes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Neuropathological data on systemic sclerosis (SSc) are limited.
  • Previous studies have not identified primary brain changes in SSc patients.

Observation:

  • Two patients with CREST syndrome (a subtype of SSc) presented with neurological symptoms.
  • Autopsies revealed extensive calcification of cerebral arteries and arterioles.
  • No other causes for cerebrovascular calcification were identified.

Findings:

  • Systemic sclerosis-associated CREST syndrome may lead to primary cerebrovascular calcification.
  • Calcification was prominent in basal ganglia, frontal lobes, and cerebellum.

Implications:

  • Cerebrovascular calcification may serve as a neuropathological marker for systemic sclerosis.
  • This finding suggests SSc can directly impact brain vasculature.
