title: Unusual neurologic manifestations (I): Parkinsonism in juvenile SLE.
abstract: A girl with neuropsychiatric lupus demonstrated Parkinsonian features soon after commencing risperidone. The single photon emission computed tomography scan showed hyperperfusion of the basal ganglia. Symptoms abated with the addition of dopaminergic agents to immunosuppressive therapy. The literature on juvenile Parkinsonism in lupus has been reviewed.
