[Lesions of the central nervous system in systemic lupus erythematosus in the computerized-tomographic image].
Computed tomography (CT) of the brain was employed in 40 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Clinical cerebral pathology was obvious in 30 and absent in 10 patients. By CT cerebral symptoms were divided of 4 groups. Clinical symptom complexes of CNS defects and SLE were reflected on definite CT images, e. g. digital capillaritis, marked livedo. Raynaud's syndrome, disseminated erythematous skin lesions correlated with CT-shown focal damage to the brain. CT picture of enlarged subarachnoid space, ventricles and basal cisterns can be observed in SLE patients without neurological symptoms. This indicated likely subclinical cerebral affection.
