ObjectiveTo describe features of demyelinating syndrome (DS) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).MethodsA systematic review using a combination of Mesh terms in PubMed and a retrospective analysis of 343 adult patients with SLE were carried out to identify patients with DS. Retrieved cases were classified as affected with DS according to 1999 ACR nomenclature and attributed to SLE by applying the 2015 algorithm. DS defined according to the clinical but not temporal 1999 ACR criteria was classified as clinically isolated syndrome (CIS).ResultsEstimated prevalence of DS (including CIS) in the SLE cohort was 1.3% and incidence rate was 1.5 cases per 1000 patient-years. Overall, 100 cases from literature review and 4 from SLE cohort were identified and are presented as a whole: 49 (47.1%) were classified as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), 29 (27.9%) as CIS, 14 (13.5%) as NMO, 7 (6.7%) as DS prominently involving the brainstem and 5 (4.8%) as DS prominently involving the brain. DS was the SLE onset manifestation in 41 (39.4%) patients. Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis was the most frequent manifestations being present in 73 (70.2%) patients (37 NMOSD, 21 CIS, 14 NMO, 1 DSB). Methylprednisolone (79.8%) and cyclophosphamide (55.8%) pulses, but also plasma-exchange (16.3%) and rituximab (7.6%) in relapsing-refractory cases, were mostly prescribed. Complete recovery rate ranged between 62% in CIS to 7% in NMO.ConclusionDS in SLE is rare (1%) and encompasses different subtypes including CIS. Timely diagnosis and early treatment are recommended to minimize complications.
