AB  - Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease 
      characterized by multiorgan involvement with diverse clinical presentations. 
      Central nervous system involvement in neuropsychiatric syndromes of SLE (NPSLE), 
      such as cerebrovascular disease and myelopathy, is a major cause of morbidity and 
      mortality in SLE patients. The concomitant occurrence of myelopathy, 
      cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral neuropathy in a patient with SLE has not 
      yet been reported. We report on a 41-year-old woman with SLE who showed motor and 
      sensory impairment with urinary retention and was diagnosed with cervical 
      myelopathy and acute cerebral infarction by spine and brain magnetic resonance 
      imaging and peripheral neuropathy by electrodiagnostic examination. Even though 
      pathogenesis of NPSLE is not well elucidated, we assume that increased antibodies 
      of anti-double stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA), presence of lupus anticoagulant and 
      hypertension are risk factors that have caused neuropsychiatric lupus in this 
      patient.
