Résumé

A 47-year-old woman with history of seizure disorder (semiology of seizure unknown), not well controlled with antiepileptic drugs since last 30 years presented with 1-year history of intermittent throbbing headache. On the day prior to admission, she experienced worst headache, followed by loss of consciousness. On regaining consciousness, she had neck pain without any focal neurological deficit, but examination was marked by positive meningeal signs. She had history of oral ulceration, photosensitivity and small joints pain for which no medical consultancy was sought until. Following relevant investigations, this case came out to be moyamoya angiopathy secondary to underlying systemic lupus erythematosus. She was put on immunosuppressive and immunomodulator as per recommendations. Among neurological symptoms, headache improved dramatically without any further seizure recurrence till the 6 months of follow-up.
