Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (NPSLE) refers to neurological or psychological manifestations, in which headaches and seizures are the most common clinical features. The most common lesions on brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of patients with NPSLE were white matter hyperintense lesions. Numbers and size of lesions were significantly higher in patients with lupus nephritis. This “case report” demonstrates the most common differential diagnoses of brain MRI imaging for patients with simultaneous NPSLE and lupus nephritis, including white matter disease, progressive encephalopathy and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
