Abstract
A 41-year-old woman complained of severe headaches and developed quadr iparesis and neurogenic bladder. Evaluation disclosed the presence of Sjogren's syndrome complicated by myeloradiculopathy with MRI evidence of cervical cord involvement. Concurrent cerebral venous sinus thromb osis was also noted. Treatment with steroids and warfarin led to clini cal improvement and resolution of MRI findings.
