Abstract

Neurologic and psychiatric disorder is reported in up to 70% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). New classification criteria for neuropsychiatric SLE define 19 syndromes with characteristic clinical features, laboratory findings and imaging. Better diagnostic possibilities, particularly imaging methods reveal new data on some conditions: demyelinating disorders in patients with SLE, neuropsychiatric disorders associated with antiphospholipid syndrome. Based on neuropsychological examination the diagnosis of cognitive dysfunction, most common psychiatric impairment, is more often established.
