  • Title: Astasia-abasia revealing a primary Sjögren's syndrome.
    Author: Lafforgue P, Toussirot E, Billé F, Acquaviva PC.
    Journal: Clin Rheumatol; 1993 Jun; 12(2):261-4. PubMed ID: 8358991.
    Abstract:
    A 63-year-old woman presented with mild arthralgias and inability to stand and walk without other significant neuropsychiatric abnormality. Neurological explorations showed intrathecal oligoclonal immunoglobulin production in CSF and numerous bright foci at brain MRI. A primary Sjögren's syndrome was concomitantly evidenced and was thought to be the cause of the astasia-abasia symptom by multiple brain involvement. Patient's condition gradually improved with hydroxychloroquine and corticosteroid therapy. Central nervous system involvement by primary Sjögren's syndrome is discussed.
