Abstract
We describe an adolescent with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and pseud otumor cerebri (PTC) associated with diffuse white matter lesions (leukoenc ephalopathy) on neuroimaging studies. Although the association between SLE and PTC has been reported previously in 21 cases, the findings of leukoence phalopathy is known in only one other patient.
