Abstract :

Sjogren’s syndrome(SS) is a chronic systemic disease characterized by inflammation and dysfunction of exocrine glands.A wide spectrum of neurologic manifestations ranging from asymptomatic ain lesions on MRI(3) to symptomatic ain lesions, meningitis, myelopathy, sensorimotor polyneuropathy and mononeuritis multiplex may accompany primary SS.NMO is relapsing neurological illness that has been sometimes reported in association with primary SS and SLE.Early diagnosis and treatment are critical in decreasing the possibility of irreversible severe neurological dysfunction.
