FALCON, Jesús et al. Ischemic cerebro vascular as recativation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2016, vol.3, n.1, pp.74-78. ISSN 2312-3893.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2016.03(01)74-078.

We present the case of a male adult with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) admitted to the Urgency Service with a history of right faciobrachial hemiparesis and dysarthria. The ischemic stroke was confirmed by the auxiliary diagnostic methods. Collagen profile was positive for IF-ANA, anti-DNA and hypocomplementemia. Antiphospholipid antibodies were negative. Treatment was made with corticosteroids and anticoagulation. This case emphasizes the importance of early detection and opportune treatment of these manifestations in patients with connective tissues diseases like SLE.

Keywords : ischemic cerebro vascular accident; systemic lupus erythematosus.
