    Abstract:
    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) frequently involves the central nervous system. The clinical presentation is highly variable and heterogeneous. The involvement of the central nervous system is often reflected in minor or major neuropsychiatric symptoms. We describe three cases of this neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus. A variety of laboratory tests are essential in order to establish the correct diagnosis of neuropsychiatric SLE. We discuss the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in both a diagnostic setting and as a tool for improving the understanding of the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric SLE.
