title: [Cerebral venous thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus. Case report and literature review].
abstract: We reviewed a case of cerebral venous thrombosis as the manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus in a 27-year-old woman whose main symptom was headache, and in which subarachnoid hemorrhage was initially suspected. The angiography revealed thrombosis in the superior longitudinal sinus. The treatment with steroids was satisfactory, with complete resolution of symptoms. We also reviewed the reported cases in medical literature.
