In order to better understand the clinical manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with intracranial hypertension syndrome (IHS),we analyzed the clinical features and treatment of a typical SLE patient with IHS.SLE is one of the most unpredictable autoimmune diseases in-volving multiple organ systems that is defined clinically and associated with antibodies directed against cell nuclei.IHS is an uncommon manifestation of neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE) and is characterized by an elevated intracranial pressure,papilledema,and headache with occasional ab-ducens nerve paresis,absence of a space-occupying lesion or ventricular enlargement,and normal cerebrospinal fluid chemical and hematological constituents.IHS has been reported in a few sporadic cases in patients with SLE worldwide,but rarely has been reported in China.In this study,a 34-year-old female SLE patient with IHS was.reported and pertinent literature reviewed.The clinical presentation,image logical features,and investigatory findings were discussed.
