Özet
Sjogren syndrome (SS) is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease. It primarily presents with dry mouth and eyes (sicca symptoms) because it frequently affects exocrine, salivary and lacrimal glands. Neurological involvement in Sjogren syndrome is observed in approximately 20-25% of cases. Eighty seven percent of the neurological involvements are located in the peripheral nervous system and around 13% of the neurological involvements affect the central nervous system. Cerebral involvement presents a heterogeneous profile both in terms of localization (focal or diffuse) and progress of the condition (acute, progressive or reversible). The affected central nervous system can show clinical and radiological signs similar to multiple sclerosis (MS). A case with reported imbalance and difficulty in walking, who also showed MS-like lesions in magnetic resonance imaging and was previously diagnosed with Sjogren syndrome, is discussed.
