Abstract
O envolvimento do sistema nervoso central em pacientes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico é freqüentemente relatado. Os exames de tomografia computadorizada e ressonância magnética demonstram achados como atrofia cerebral, infarto cerebral e/ou hemorragia intracraniana. Calcificações intracranianas maciças em pacientes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico são raras. Os autores apresentam um paciente com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico e crises convulsivas, cuja tomografia computadorizada demonstrou extensas calcificações nos gânglios da base e focos de calcificação nos lobos frontais. A ressonância magnética revelou imagens hiperintensas na seqüência FLAIR e hipointensas em gradiente eco T2* na topografia dos gânglios da base.
Central nervous system involvement is frequently reported in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies usually show brain atrophy, cerebral infarction and/or intracranial bleeding. Extensive intracranial calcification in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus is rare. We report a case of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who presented with seizures and massive basal ganglia calcification and mild calcifications in the frontal lobes, seen on the brain computed tomography scan. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperintensity on FLAIR images and hypointense signals on T2* gradient echo images in the basal ganglia.
