Observational Study
Neurological involvement in Primary Sjögren Syndrome.
To perform an observational retrospective cross-sectional case-control study to evaluate prevalence, clinical patterns and outcomes of neurological involvement in a cohort of Primary Sjögren Syndrome (pSS) patients followed up in a single center. ⋯ The current study underlines the diversity of neurologic complications of pSS. The frequency of neurologic manifestations as first manifestation of pSS, especially in the event of CNS involvement, could explain why SS is frequently under diagnosed or late diagnosed. Screening for SS should be systematically performed in cases of acute or chronic myelopathy, axonal sensorimotor neuropathy, or cranial nerve involvement.
