Abstract
A 27-year-old female patient with severe cerebral systemic lupus eryth ematosus did not respond to conventional therapy, including high-dose corticosteroids and high-dose pulsed cyclophosphamide therapy. Cerebro spinal fluid filtration (pheresis) led to rapid and lasting neurologic al improvement and clinical cure.
