A 41-year-old woman complained of severe headaches and developed quadriparesis and neurogenic bladder. Evaluation disclosed the presence of Sjögren's syndrome complicated by myeloradiculopathy with MRI evidence of cervical cord involvement. Concurrent cerebral venous sinus thrombosis was also noted. Treatment with steroids and warfarin led to clinical improvement and resolution of MRI findings.
