title: [Vernet's syndrome as an early manifestation of systemic erythematous lupus].
abstract: Report of one case of Vernet's syndrome (involving the IX, X and XIth cranial nerves) in a young woman, as early sing of SEL. The patient presented the 4 criteria suggested by the American Society in order to diagnose SEL: arthritis, serositis, positive anti-nuclear antibodies and anemia. The AA. carry out a study in search of other cases sitting in the larynx and a perusal about etiopathogenical theories as well. Hinting, for the clinical picture, of being it due to a localised vasculitis of vasa nervorum, a treatment with corticoids and pentoxifylline was ordered, being the outcome, after 3 weeks, the eradication of ENT syndrome.
