Résumé
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a common clinical condition, and one of its more common complications is bleeding. Intramedullary and posterior pharynx hemorrhage in SLE is rare and disastrous. We present a patient with a predominantly neurological clinical presentation, which on examination was thought to be the result of active SLE complicated by intramedullary and pharynx hemorrhage. Intravenous glucocorticoids were administered for the acute SLE flare-up. The patient's neurological deficits improved gradually. She could walk independently when she was discharged. Early magnetic resonance imaging detection and early glucocorticoid treatment can halt the progression of neuropsychiatric SLE.
