Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement has been emphasised as one of the major SLE manifestations since the first descriptions of the disease and is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present studies was to evaluate the various neurological manifestations in SLE and to assess the role of neuroimaging, electrophysiological studies in the diagnosis of subclinical neurological manifestations and to correlate neurological manifestations with disease activity.
